Objectives per Roles:

Dev: Avoid deploying raw features.

QA: Avoid having a release with major bugs that would hinder the average user's experience. Notify Product & Stakeholder of all bug's discovered (both major and minor).

Product: Ensure the release's new features are ready to be deployed. Has it gone through the (New Feature, Adjust, Rework, Polish, Release) cycle?
