Applies To: System Center 2012 SP1 - Service Manager, System Center 2012 R2 Service Manager, System Center 2012 - Service Manager
In System Center 2012 – Service Manager, releases are normally deployed to production environments at intervals you define. For example, you can package several releases into monthly batches. You can define each batch as a parent release, which consolidates and links other smaller project-specific releases into a monthly package. This process can help you verify that all child releases are evaluated together.
