Ask anyone on the street what the current buzz in software management is and you’ll hear “Agile”. And while this is fine, the industry as a whole is missing a big part of the SDLC. You can use all the best practices in the world but in order for it to be useful it must be release to the public.

Every minute a defect is left unfixed or new feature is not available to the public means lost profit for the organization. This can easily result in daily pushes to production.
