Managing Tasks and Phases

Tasks and Phases

ReleaseLoop organizes your release workflow into phases, each containing specific tasks. This structure helps you stay on track and ensures nothing falls through the cracks.

The Five Phases

1. Pre-production – Recording, mixing, mastering, and preparing your release
2. Distribution – Setting up your distributor, scheduling delivery, and metadata
3. Marketing – Promotional activities, content creation, and outreach
4. Release Day – Launch activities and announcements
5. Post-release – Analytics review, fan engagement, and retrospective

Working with Tasks

Each task includes: Name, Due Date (auto-calculated from release date), Assignee (Team plan+), Required Flag, and Status (Todo, In Progress, or Done).

Task Actions

• Complete a task – Click the circle icon next to the task name
• Edit a task – Click on the task to open the edit dialog
• Add a task – Use the Add Task button within any phase
• Assign a task – Click the assignee dropdown to select a team member

Task Templates

Templates are pre-built sets of tasks that automatically populate when you create a release. ReleaseLoop includes a default template with industry best practices, or you can create your own custom templates.
