Abstract

Organizations have always considered the product release cycle an important factor in the development of the product. Most of the organizations have well defined releases schedule in the documentation and are constantly updated whenever changed. There is a recent trend in the organizations to switch to rapid release cycle from earlier slower cycle. In this paper the probable concerns that can arise from these rapid schedules is discussed along with certain reasons that might be pushing the organizations to move to rapid cycle. Probable solutions and suggestions have been outlined that can help to reduce the severity of concerns, if applied largely and properly.
