Release practices have become a meme, where deploying on Fridays leads to outages, illustrating the risks of untested code hitting production when teams aren’t available.
Despite Agile principles promoting frequent and minor releases, organizations often revert to practices like code freezes and no-release Fridays due to fear of failure.
Organizations that claim to be agile might still be stuck in Waterfall development, delivering large projects instead of adopting the true spirit of Agile - iterative and adaptive.
The introduction of backup mechanisms and gradual exposure of releases to customers could mitigate risks, but the prevailing fears drive teams to adopt conservative release strategies.
