My team has this one shared component that gets involved in like every feature’s development. This year, we’re loading like 5 different features onto it, all with different timelines, and my head’s about to explode trying to figure out how to make it all fly.

How does everyone else do their software releases? Do you freeze prod and then do one big release later? Throw everything into prod during dev, hope no one sees the unreleased stuff, and just announce it later? Or something else entirely?

    We have rolling Dev and release branches. Dev is considered stable and is branched off for features they are tested and reviewed and merged back into Dev if they pass. Once all issues are done for the task we merge Dev into release to make a new release then tag it and ship it.

    In your case I would do a branch per feature and merge them in only when they are finished and tested, fixing any conflicts and retest it post merge.
