Release Management

You have release R2 ready to enter its test phase, but R1 (its predecessor) is still in build. The system won't let R2 switch to test. Why, and what unblocks it?

Stakeholders demand that every approved change go live the moment it's approved, on its own date. Does that point you to Release Management or to ChaRM — and what do you give up?

You want to delete minor release R1.3, but R1.4 already exists in the same major. The system blocks it. What's the rule, and what else must you clear first?

It's the Deploy phase. A team lead plans to import their team's released transports into production themselves at cutover. Why is that the wrong mental model, and what actually happens?

A small release is going out. Which property decides whether you run full regression + UAT, and how do you scope testing for a minor vs a major?

A colleague argues that forcing all projects onto one synchronized go-live just adds coordination overhead and more test planning. Where is that reasoning wrong?

A change won't finish coding by the development close date. A manager asks to slide the date so it makes this release. What's the rule, and what must you NOT do?

It's go-live day for a release cycle. A planner counts every change attached to the cycle as shipping. What actually deploys, and what happens to the rest?
