• Establish release entry and exit criteria with Engineering, QA, Product, and DevOps.
• Lead release readiness reviews and go/no-go discussions based on testing evidence, operational readiness, and customer impact.
• Coordinate production releases, maintenance releases, and emergency fixes, including deployment sequencing, validation, and rollback readiness.
• Maintain release documentation, decision records, and stakeholder communications.
