Release process principles

  • A project or workstream may slip an internal release milestone with TSC approval
  • A project or workstream may be included in the major release after the scheduled release, with TSC approval
    • The project must declare for the Supplemental  Release (M7, typically 2 to 4 weeks late) prior to the  M3 date.
