Key Highlights of the Webinar

The challenge of Cross-Project Release Communication

Cross-project release communication becomes difficult when multiple teams work on a single product release.

• Updates live in different projects: Mobile, web, and backend teams ship changes separately for a single platform release.

• Teams follow different workflows: Each team tracks work in its own way, resulting in misalignment.

• Information is scattered: Release information is spread across several tools and projects.

• Context gets lost: Leadership struggles to understand what was actually released in a version.

What Actually Breaks at Scale

When release communication is spread across multiple projects and teams, minor inefficiencies quickly become major problems.

• Release notes become repetitive: Similar updates are rewritten for multiple projects, increasing noise and confusion.

• Manual tracking increases the risk of missing updates: Important tickets frequently fall through the cracks when teams track work independently.

• Stakeholders struggle to see the full picture: They receive multiple documents rather than a single, clear release story.

• Release managers spend hours compiling information: Copying, pasting, and validating data consumes valuable time that could be spent improving releases.

At scale, this chaos slows down teams and has an impact on release quality.

Why Manual Cross-Project Release Notes Don’t Scale

Manual cross-project release notes do not scale due to their reliance on spreadsheets, copy-paste work, and frequent follow-ups. Teams export Jira updates into Excel, manually format content, and follow up on Slack to ensure technical changes are translated into customer-friendly summaries. 

Customers prefer clarity to technical details, so this process causes delays. Human error becomes unavoidable at scale, such as ticket loss, late report delivery, and inconsistent and untrustworthy release notes.

Manual release notes impact

Manual release notes have a significant impact on both productivity and team morale when used on a large scale.

• Time: Every release, hours are spent compiling reports and reworking content instead of focusing on the actual release execution.

• Quality: Inconsistency in tone, structure, and formatting across reports reduces clarity and professionalism.

• Trust: Stakeholders lose trust when released information appears untrustworthy or incomplete.

• Teams: Burnout is caused by repeated manual effort, particularly during frequent launches.

Overall, this approach is not only futile but also unsustainable in terms of growing teams and modern release cycles.

What if the updates you released were organised, centralised, repeatable, and produced in minutes instead of hours?

That's exactly what we're going to look at today: how teams can simplify release communication, reduce effort, and deliver clear, reliable updates at scale.
