The 2025 State of Mobile Release Management Report highlights several key takeaways:

• The status quo approach to mobile releases is costing organizations substantial time and resources, with engineers spending nearly a third of their release cycles on low-value tasks.
• While automation investment is high, it's not fixing the core problems of coordination, visibility, and cross-team collaboration.
• As release frequency increases and organizations grow, inefficient release processes become an even greater risk to success.
• Teams recognize the value of improved release coordination but lack tools designed specifically for mobile release management.
• Better release processes could prevent over 60% of incidents, directly improving product quality and user experience.

For mobile engineering teams looking to improve their release processes, we recommend:

• Benchmark your current process against industry standards
• Evaluate how a centralized release platform could address your specific pain points
• Consider the ROI of reduced incidents and recovered engineering time
• Prioritize tooling that addresses both technical automation and human coordination aspects
