In order to provide for clarity and facilitate planning, Melissa is publishing a release date calendar for our product. However, this is not simply putting some dates on a spreadsheet. We are also working on optimizing our internal processes as well as better defining our data source acquisition timelines with our partners to provide a more stable and consistent release schedule. We will be adding more products as we systematically review and optimize our full suite of solutions.

Release Windows

We cannot always ensure that a product release will go out on an exact date for a variety of reasons. The specified Release Window specifies the number of business days in which we expect that product to release. This number is the total number of days, not before + after. So for example, if we specify a release date as 1/15/2022 and a release window of 3 days, we expect the release to be between 1/14/2022-1/16/2022.
