 * Support fallback and rollback planning, including risk and impact assessments, and track deployment progress, escalating issues to stakeholders when needed.
 * Communicate release status, content, impacts, and timelines to IT and business stakeholders.
 * Analyze release performance metrics (quality, incidents, delays) to drive improvements and identify bottlenecks in the release process.
 * Contribute to automation and optimization initiatives (CI/CD, automated testing, deployment pipelines), and strengthen the maturity of release management within the organization.
