What is defined as a Promotion in Copado?

In Copado, a Promotion is defined as a container used to deploy one or multiple user stories. This concept is central to the way Copado organizes and manages the deployment process. When developing in teams, there may be numerous user stories that need to be delivered to different environments. The idea behind a Promotion is to streamline this process by grouping these related user stories together and facilitating their deployment as a single unit.

By using Promotions, teams can manage deployment more effectively, ensuring that all the necessary changes are moved together, maintaining coherence and reducing the risk of incomplete deployments. This grouping capability also helps in tracking the status of deployments and aligning them with release management practices.

The other options, while related to deployment processes, do not capture the essence of what a Promotion is. A single user story by itself does not encompass the grouping and organizational aspects that a Promotion provides. Similarly, while scheduling for deployments and notification systems are essential components within a deployment framework, they serve different purposes from that of a Promotion, which focuses specifically on the combination and delivery of changes as a cohesive package.
