2 Release Planning Understand & manage the release pipeline across the organisation. Ensuring synergies across the project teams via overarching milestones & gates. System Planning & Contention Analysis Identify system needs early in the project lifecycle. Pre-empting potential conflicts and bottlenecks due to resource contention. Reducing development & test disruption by managing the system instance resources effectively across the different project testing phases. Deployment & Operations Scheduling Ensure releases are provisioned and configured in a consistent & timely fashion through proactive planning & coordination. Centralised calendaring ensures full visibility of across projects, teams, systems and environments.

3 Streamlined Release Operations Move away from chaotic and non-repeatable deployment operations by establishing control through centralised release runbooks and leveraging automation on regular & time consuming tasks. Seamless Integration for Tools & Data Sources Enov8 s flexible integration hub simplifies moving between tools to capture data or orchestrate environment tasks. This includes tools across monitoring, DevOps, infrastructure, data and deployment & versioning. Release & Deployment Status & Reporting Consolidate environment, operations & release information to allow real-time analytics, timely decision making & continuous improvement. Executive dashboarding to highlight release status and milestone progress to gain business alignment.

4 Delivery Chain Insights Visualise your key delivery chain activities (from branch code commits through to build, deployment and testing) and rapidly troubleshoot breakage through our unique delivery thread analysis features. Post Implementation Reviews (PIRs) Reflect and optimize your project and delivery behaviour. Implement PIRs at the end of your projects to evaluate whether project objectives were met, how effectively the project (or activities) were run, and collaborate on how to improve in the future. Release Financial Dashboards Use Enov8 to record IT financial information and promote IT cost optimization. Capture and measure enterprise release costs over time. Drill down to display and compare project costs (planned, unplanned), resource usage (systems, developers, testers), cost of events, and impact of unplanned outages.
