ITIL-FOUNDATION · Question #168
Which of the following would NOT be contained in a release policy?
The correct answer is D. The risk register for the release. A release policy is a governance document that sets standards applicable across all releases, while a risk register is a separate artifact tracking risks for an individual release. The risk register is therefore not a component of the policy itself.

Why each option
A release policy is a governance document that sets standards applicable across all releases, while a risk register is a separate artifact tracking risks for an individual release. The risk register is therefore not a component of the policy itself.
Naming and numbering conventions are explicitly included in a release policy to ensure releases are consistently identified and tracked across the organization.
Entry and exit criteria for testing are a standard release policy element that defines the quality gates a release must satisfy before progressing.
Roles and responsibilities are a core part of any release policy, clarifying ownership and accountability for each stage of the release lifecycle.
A risk register is a project-level document used to identify, assess, and track risks specific to a given release, but it is created and maintained as part of release execution, not as part of the overarching release policy. The release policy defines standing rules - such as naming conventions, quality gates, and role assignments - that apply consistently to every release rather than recording risks for a single instance.
