Understand Your Software Release Risk Profile With the LaunchDarkly Software Risk Assessment

LaunchDarkly offers a 2-minute Software Release Risk Assessment to help tech companies evaluate the riskiness of their software release processes. The assessment focuses on key areas such as targeting, progressive release maturity, monitoring, and more to understand potential impacts like outages, downtime, poor performance, and subpar user experience. Many organizations underestimate the risks associated with their software releases, making it challenging to identify areas for improvement and implement strategies to mitigate risks effectively. The assessment provides insights into strengths and weaknesses of current release processes, how practices compare to industry standards, specific steps to reduce risk in software releases, and areas where tools like feature flags and progressive rollouts can be leveraged to enhance the release strategy.
