What does an automated Promote and Deploy process eliminate?

The automated Promote and Deploy process is designed to streamline and enhance the efficiency of software deployment. By automating these processes, it specifically eliminates the manual completion of multiple promotion tasks. This means that teams can avoid the time-consuming and error-prone nature of manual work, which can often lead to inconsistencies and delays in deployment.

Automation ensures that tasks related to promotion, such as moving code changes from one environment to another, are executed in a consistent and repeatable manner. This provides not only speed but also reliability in the deployment process, allowing teams to focus on more strategic activities instead of getting bogged down in repetitive manual tasks.

In contrast, while documentation, user story approvals, and branch merging may still require attention, they are not inherently removed by the automation of the Promote and Deploy process. These aspects might be critical for overall project governance and collaboration but do not directly relate to the efficiency improvements brought about by automation in deployment tasks.
