Has anyone ever tried to make you the release manager
So I hope that's a good title
Also thank you for reading, writing this on mobile because I had to step away from my pc for a bit
So we all know the DevOps field is a wide spectrum of skills and is more a way of running a company than a title in itself.
Keeping that in mind I was wondering has anyone ever tried to make you the release manager as well?
I mean we implemented the pipelines (or inherited a very legacy one that held together by straws). We know what to look for when thinking CI/Cd, or how to quickly recover from bad code that was pushed. Don't get me wrong. I am all for releasing and improving on how we get to a true CI/CD state, but never ever did I or WOULD I want to be the guy that is in the middle trying to bring all teams together and ask them, will you please, pretty please, push the button that is asking you to go forward
I have nothing against a release manager and I do admire you for taking one for the team, but we're here to get your software out as fast as possible with little to no downtime,and I sure as hell can't do that if I need to make sure that the software we are pushing is stable, and everyone is on board with the changes and all admin has been followed up with.
Not a rant, just really curious?
