The problem

Quick decisions require accurate status.

Assessing whether a release is in jeopardy is one more job on a product manager's day. By the time a slip is obvious, it's too late to do much about it.

01

Status by meeting

Release state lives in people's heads and status meetings, not in the system.

02

Gates get skipped

Without a consistent check, quality gates are easy to miss under deadline pressure.

03

Late surprises

Risks surface at the end of a phase instead of while there's still time to act.

The approach

Watch the gates, so release managers can make the call.

The agent follows each release through its phases: which gates have passed, failed, or been overridden, how much time is left in the current phase, and which milestones are coming up. When a release starts to slip, it says so early. Release managers stay in control of promoting phases and overriding gates.
