Own the VCU and CCU release trains: release calendar, cadence, and the definition/scope of each software release.
Decide which supplier drops, GELOS version, and GM components are included in each release, incorporating input from Supplier Management and Release Engineering individuals on your team.
Own release readiness and gating (criteria, go/no-go); communicate release contents, known issues, and supported programs.
Own technical integration and builds for both: (a) Supplier drops into GM branches/environments and (b) full CCU/VCU images.
Manage branching strategies, merges, cherry-picks, and CI/CD pipelines for CCU and VCU images.
Coordinate initial integration and sanity checks; designate builds as release candidates from a technical perspective.
Provide readiness input to Release Management and technical evidence to Supplier Management when issues must be escalated to their relevant supplier.
