It starts with a smartphone labeled "New Release v2.5.0", followed by four progressive rollout stages labeled: Stage 1 (5% Users / Small % Rollout), Stage 2 (25% Users / Increase Exposure), Stage 3 (50% Users / Continuous Monitoring), and Stage 4 (100% Users / Full Rollout). The timeline ends at a desktop monitor displaying a "Release Health" dashboard with a blue warning triangle icon for real-time monitoring.
