Hi! So while fastlane is great for automating the parts of the process that usually live in CI, we think a big chunk of the process lies outside of the realm of CI. For example, things like understanding what work is going into the release, communicating progress on manual regression testing, and triaging issues as they come in from internal or external beta testing are all parts of the process that can’t be automated with CI.

We think a holistic solution should exist that can pull everything together to provide a true representation of progress towards a successful release that takes into account these parts of (and people involved in) the process.
