What is the difference between release management and deployment management?

Deployment doesn’t necessarily mean users have access to features, as can clearly be seen by the different environments involved. Some companies will release at the same time as deployment to production is taking place.

If something goes wrong during deployment to staging, the deployment instructions are corrected until the deployment to staging works flawlessly.
