Question

Which of the following is the CORRECT definition of a Release Unit?

Options

AA measurement of cost
BA function described within Service Transition
CThe team of people responsible for implementing a release
DThe portion of a service or IT infrastructure that is normally released together

Explanation

A Release Unit in ITIL defines the granularity of what is packaged and deployed together - specifically the portion of a service or IT infrastructure normally released as a single unit.

Common mistakes.

A. A Release Unit is a structural concept defining what gets released together, not a financial or cost measurement of any kind.
B. While Release Management is a process within Service Transition, a Release Unit is a specific defined term for a deployable component - not a description of a function or role.
C. The team responsible for implementing a release is referred to as the release or deployment team - a Release Unit describes a component of infrastructure or service, not a group of people.
