The functionality discussed on this page is only available in the Bamboo 5.0 EAP beta release.

 

Bamboo can start deployments either by configuring triggers, or by starting the process manually.

Manually executing the deployment gives you the ability to start the process at your convenience, without having to wait for a scheduled event or trigger to take place.
