Top 4 Release Management Trends for 2024

In 2024, release management practices are expected to undergo significant shifts due to the emergence of GenAI and its potential risks. Engineering organizations will likely push for standardizing safety nets like feature flags to manage these risks while accelerating innovation. The adoption of progressive delivery is also anticipated to increase as teams aim to control their release process, enhance speed, and mitigate inherent development friction. Additionally, there will be a growing emphasis on defining and tracking key release metrics such as deployment frequency and mean time to recover (MTTR) from an incident.
