If you want fast releases, you need to get new code into production—which is to say, in front of your buyers. 

Some Workload Automation solutions can integrate operations with the SDLC, which automates the manual back-and-forth between developers and operators, and automatically promotes new code to production with the jobs needed to run the code.

Before one client reached out to us, it took them a week (20 steps) to promote a release to production. 

We reduced that to one day (3 steps). They saved 5,000 development hours a year.
