Enov8 Release Manager

What Enov8 Release Manager is

Enov8 Release Manager supports the planning and coordination of enterprise software releases across projects, systems, teams, and environments. Release calendars, scope management, project alignment, milestone tracking, environment demand, and implementation planning help organize work across a release. The product connects release scope with affected systems, milestones, environments, data needs, defects, risks, and approvals so teams can assess readiness before go-live.

For Agile Release Trains, the Enterprise Release Manager page describes Program Increment planning, team tracking, implementation planning, deployment tracking, and post-implementation reviews. Enov8 works alongside CI/CD and DevOps tools, which carry out build and deployment execution. Integration methods include a REST API, webhooks, a scheduler, and a DevOps Manager integration hub, with support for ITSM, CI, CD, environment, monitoring, hosting, and collaboration tools. Organizations can host it on-premises, in the cloud, or across multiple clouds such as AWS, Azure, and GCP; Linux Server installation is also supported. Enov8 says it maintains ISO/IEC 27001:2022 certification and SOC 2 Type II assurance. Prospects can contact Enov8 for a free Evaluation Edition or view an in-browser demo. Pricing is available by request. Annual subscribers receive quarterly software updates, alongside continuous updates in the download area. Enov8 spun off from TL Consulting Group in 2013.
