Talk:Enterprise release management

Note: Don't redirect this back to release management, there is substantial source data suggesting that enterprise release management is something distinct. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 50.141.76.2 (talk) 20:51, 4 September 2015 (UTC)

This article. It's too much marketspeak and not enough substance. This is an encyclopedia, not a meaningless Gartner whitepaper. This has to be fixed.

Merger proposal

I propose that Enterprise release management be merged into Release management. I think that the content in the Enterprise release management article can easily be explained in the context of Release management, and the Release management article is of a reasonable size that the merging of Enterprise release management will not cause any problems as far as article size or undue weight is concerned. The content in the Enterprise release management is subpar in reference due to lack of inline citations and unreliable sources; additionally the only primary source that is referenced is done so improperly. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Kharnagy (talk • contribs) 22:04, 4 September 2015 (UTC)

I agree with your evaluation of the current situation, but am not entirely sure about the solution. If ERM has enough distinctive features on it's own, it may be suitable for a stand-alone article - but it's impossible to tell in the article's current poor shape. Suggestion for a topic expert (not me unfortunately): Remove all vague details and statements, that sounds like WP:OR, marketspeak or personal opinion. Remove all statements, that plainly don't make sense at all ("Enterprise Release Management provides enterprises with a model that can adopt the localized effects of both DevOps and Continuous delivery to the larger IT department." ==> Is that supposed to mean something for example? Far too technical, we need facts and not some vague conceptual assertions.) Focus on a clear and brief description of the core concept, and 1-2 paragraphs describing the undisputed main features of this concept. After such a cleanup a decision between merge or stand-alone could probably be made more easily. GermanJoe (talk) 14:29, 5 September 2015 (UTC)
