the release goes out on Thursday whatever is ready, and anything that missed it waits for the next one.
Release train
Also calledtrain model, scheduled release
Shipping on a fixed schedule, with whatever has been merged and is ready, rather than when a particular scope is complete. It removes the negotiation about dates and makes cadence predictable, which is why it survives in mobile and in anything with an expensive release process. Its cost is batching — a fortnightly train makes every release a bigger, riskier change than a continuously-deploying team ever has.
