Closing or Deleting a Release

Release management and planning ensures that all completed or retired milestones are properly closed. The process of Closing or Deleting a Release is necessary when a release is deployed, deemed inactive, or needs correction due to an error. Performing these actions removes the old milestones from active planning views, leading to clearer future forecasts and validating that all associated work has been resolved before the release is archived or removed from the system.

A release cannot be closed or deleted until all associated work items are either:

  • Completed
  • Closed
