Sprint Release #114

Sprint 114 Release Note: New Post-Production Workflow, Streamlined Menus for Improved Consistency, Faster Post-QC Image Loading, Plus a Whole Lot More! Happy reading on another sprint release day! 🎉

You might be thinking, “This week isn’t the regularly scheduled Sprint Release week…” 

Astute observation! Internally, we’ve introduced a new testing phase in our software delivery process. This allows our product managers and QA team to do extended testing before we deploy our features to our customers.

But what does this mean for the release cadence?

In short: In order to transition to this new process, we have shifted the release schedule to resume bi-monthly every Tuesday starting today  Happy reading!

New Post-Production Workflow:
Internal → External → Internal

WHAT:

We've introduced a new post-production workflow where captured images will start with an internal retouching step, get sent out to an external retouching vendor, and then be brought back in for a final internal post-production step.

WHY:

Studios using an exception-handling workflow today might be able to save some time with this new approach if the assets always need a final round of internal retouching. Not to mention, with this approach you have total control over who is responsible for variant fan-out, and at which step in the process it needs to happen.
