The primary objective is to ensure the integrity of the production environment. ITIL v3 Release and Deployment Management CIS Enterprise Architecture

11. Scope The scope of Release and Deployment Management includes the processes, systems and functions to package, build, test and deploy a release into production and establish the service specified in the Service Design Package before final handover to service operations.

12. Objectives To efficiently build, install, test and deploy releases to a target environment successfully and on schedule Clear and comprehensive release and deployment plans Controlled deployment of a new or changed service into production Minimal unpredicted impact on the production services, operations and support organization ITIL v3 Release and Deployment Management CIS Enterprise Architecture

13. Value To Business Delivering change, faster and at optimum cost and minimized risk Assuring that customers and users can use the new or changed service in a way that supports the business goals Improving consistency in implementation approach across the business change, service teams, suppliers and customers Contributing to meeting auditable requirements for traceability through Service Transition.
