I heard CA is working on a release orchestration/management solution (I think the name was continuous delivery director or something similar).

Commented on It's easy for me to create flows, control statements, and detect errors. This used to be a nightmare.
Just wanted to say that I didn't find this solution to be very complex in my experience; one thing that helped was that the flows were built in a GUI with no coding or scripting involved. There was also a bunch of OOTB integrations and a deployment dashboard.

The assessment is candid and straightforward; and you can tell it comes from lots of real-world experience.
