Learn a simple 4-phase process to plan, track, and communicate Jira releases without last-minute surprises.
Video Brief:
In this webinar, Mithila Shigaonkar, Marketing Manager at Amoeboids, and Marcin Wojtkowski, Product Success Lead at Apwide, walk through a step-by-step process for running release day without the chaos. The session is moderated by Gabriel Wielkopolski, Key Account Manager at Apwide.
The session starts with the three gaps behind most failed releases: no shared visibility of freezes, unclear go/no-go ownership, and release notes written under pressure. It then covers a 4-phase framework: Plan and Freeze, Go/No-Go, Execute and Track, and Communicate and Close Out.
Marcin shows how Golive gives every team one shared view of freeze windows, environments, and deployments inside Jira. Mithila shows how the Automated Release Notes & Reports (ARNR) app creates release communication for customers, internal teams, and compliance using Templates and Rules, without writing each version by hand.
The session ends with a Q&A covering integrations, release day priorities, and the role of AI in release assessment.
Live Demo Highlights:
- Build a shared release timeline with freeze windows, go/no-go dates, and release events.
- Track which version is deployed on each environment and which issues are included.
- Run a live ship or hold a poll against clear go/no-go criteria.
- Set up email and PDF templates in ARNR once and reuse them for every release.
- Automate delivery with Rules, using manual or version-created triggers.
- See one release go out as a stakeholder brief, customer release notes, and a monthly security fixes report.
Key Takeaways:
- Put your freeze windows where every team can see them, not just the release team.
- Name a go/no-go owner before release day, not during it.
- Write your communication templates once per audience and reuse them.
- Feed release data into your next retro instead of relying on memory.
