A release manager has noticed that the organization has many standardized services provided to international organizations. Which aspect of release management will this situation directly affect?
Standardized services provided to international organizations imply a need for consistency andscalability in how releases are managed across diverse contexts. TheITIL® 4 Practitioner: Release Managementdocument explains that release models are used to standardize the approach to releases:"Release models define the structure, contents, and schedule of releases… They ensure consistent and repeatable processes, which is particularly important for organizations with standardized services"(Section 3.2.2).
Option A (The release plans) refers to specific plans for individual releases, which may be affected indirectly but are not the primary aspect impacted by standardization needs.
Option B (Continuous integration) and Option C (Continuous delivery) are development practices that may interact with release management but are not directly affected by the need for standardization across international services.
Option D (The release models) is directly affected, as standardized services require well-defined release models to ensure consistency, repeatability, and scalability across international contexts.
The situation directly impacts the design and application of release models to accommodate standardized services globally. Thus, the correct answer is D.
