Does this seem good? Any additions or changes?
I personally would rather that release engineering be contacted before the change that people suspect may need Release Enginnering changes is submitted, especially when there is new deliverables, The reason being that we can sit down and work out the best way to integrate it. there has been changes that have written tooling to do a job but we can not use them in our processes. Coming to Release Engineering at Alpha freeze time and saying we need foo is way too late.
