The application pertains to the automated deployment of software packages to an enterprise's testing, staging and production environments. It does this by detecting events with respect to the enterprise's code base and, upon detection of a change in a package, identifies the application(s) that include that package. For each such application, a workflow is provided defining a pipeline of environments in which a bundle of packages that make up that application are to be installed for testing, staging or production. A software package in which an event has occurred is installed in those environments on a stepwise basis per that workflow and the application is (re)built there for testing, etc. A status of the bundle of packages that make up an application in each of the respective environments is shown in a graphical user interface.
