Abstract

A more tailored and flexible update schedule is provided for large enterprise software development and delivery through mini-releases. Instead of delivering update packages after a development and delivery period, e.g., 18 months, where the update packages include an update release for the entire software package, the software package may be broken down into component parts. Mini-releases may then be issued several times during the same delivery period (e.g., 18 months). Each mini-release may include a small subset of the component parts to be focused on, allowing greater flexibility, without greatly increasing code release efforts (e.g., as required by releasing the whole software suite in an update).
