Environments Management—A Key Component for Release Management
The demand for software environments has increased as more organizations use agile software development practices and are required to provide a fast turnaround of deliverable IT projects. Effective environment management improves the quality, availability, and efficiency of the environments in order to meet milestones, as well as ultimately reducing both the time to market and costs.
We're Agile

I always recommend to teams newly transitioning to agile that they keep every iteration the same length. This helps them learn to manage their time, and after a few iterations they'll start to get a rhythm. Hopefully, they'll learn to work incrementally, doing testing and coding concurrently as part of one development effort, so that user stories are finished throughout the iteration, and testing isn't pushed to the last day.

Collaborative Risk Analysis for Release Planning
Release planning is more than just stuffing the highest ranked stories into iteration buckets. To be meaningful the whole team needs to participate. Lightweight risk management techniques are not orthogonal to an agile approach They can help proactively address previously hidden concerns and the planning process benefits all-around from shared dialog on release-impacting risks.
Timebox your Projects!
By putting more effort into fixing time, rather than functionality, agile development projects are able to reach the levels of agility they were intended to reach. By welcoming change, as agile was designed to do, you're able to create an innovation cadence keeps everything in harmony.
