Why Release Control Takes Weeks

The industry standard for release control is painfully manual: long-form policy documents, ServiceNow forms, human approvals, meetings, and tickets that take days or even weeks to close.

In this video, Mike Long (CEO & Co-founder, Kosli) explains the difference between manual release control and an automated, zero-trust model where evidence is collected automatically, provenance identifies the artifact, and approvals can be fully codified.
