The ITSM release plan is a term that refers to the process of how an organization should manage changes in the IT infrastructure. The plan considers the needs and expectations of all stakeholders, including customers, employees, suppliers, partners, and management.

We recommend that all organizations create this document before beginning an ITSM project, so they have the right expectations of their goals to ensure success. This is a great way to increase efficiency in your business by ensuring that you are delivering value to your end-users at all times and keeping up with the latest trends in technology.
