# Our release cycle

> Understand Lerian's 13-week release cycle — planning, development, testing, and release stages — so teams can predict what to expect.

Lerian follows a **13-week release cycle** designed to deliver steady progress without compromising stability. Each cycle moves through clear, predictable stages, so teams and partners always know what to expect.

During the cycle, we focus on **evolving all our products**, continuously improving existing capabilities and, when applicable, **developing new products**. Every change is carefully validated before reaching production.

## How it works

***

* **Weeks 1–2 — Planning**: We align scope, priorities, and technical direction. This is where requirements are defined, and the roadmap for the cycle takes shape.
* **Weeks 3–9 — Development**: The team builds and iterates on new features, enhancements, and platform improvements based on the planned scope.
* **Weeks 10–12 — Testing and validation**: All changes go through thorough testing and validation to ensure reliability, performance, and consistency across the platform.
* **Week 13 — Release**: The release is finalized and deployed, with documentation and release notes published alongside the rollout.
