Release Management
Also written as Release Manager, Release Planning, Release Train
Planning, scheduling and controlling how software changes reach production: what goes into each release, approvals and change windows, rollout and rollback plans, and keeping the business informed. Large IT services and banking projects often have a dedicated release manager.
Think of it like
An air traffic controller for code: deciding what lands, when, and what happens if something goes wrong.
Junior or senior?
Junior sounds like
Follows the release checklist.
Senior sounds like
Has run a release that went wrong and can explain the rollback and what changed afterwards.
Ask them
“Tell me about a release that went wrong. How did you roll back, and what did you change after?”
