Document Release Process

Document Release Process

SimonsoftCMS Release Process:

  • Inspired by software development processes.
  • Suitable for both traditional document and software release processes.
  • The Release is a Pseudo-Branch of the Authored Document.

Advantages over Traditional CMS Processes:

  • Simplified process that does not require bottom up release of each component.

− Still possible to maintain Lifecycle Status of some/all components.

  • Good fit with Agile methodologies by providing full control over the Release with a

minimum of complexity and overhead.

  • Close integration with the Translation Process.
