Hello,

I'm building a small solution starting from a situation identified at the work place: a system to approve releases in production (software or infrastructure modification etc). What I mean by this? Imagine that there is a release approval hierarchy: Team Lead, Product Owner, Director and the list continues. And they all need to approve a release in production, a new feature.

Most of the things found on internet are very focused on pipelines and code deployments, running tests etc.

What is needed at the company where I work is an excel file where a release for a product is explained and then a committee validates it, but it's not related to any deployment pipelines. Just approvals and some kind of validations from different people that the release is tested, validated, has a deployment plan and a rollback plan.

What I am trying to understand is if it's worth it? I don't want to invest months of work and features if it's not a good idea. Tools like Jira Service Management and others are over complicated for this kind of stuff.

Thanks a lot for your opinions!
