Release Planning      V1 Menu

agile insight
Release Planning is the activity that Agile teams undertake to determine how much scope will be completed within a given timeframe. The stories and/or backlog items that are assigned to a release are estimated by the development team. The prioritized release plan is then used as input into planning a series of smaller iterations of work. Release planning takes place at the beginning of a project, but then recurs at intervals throughout a project in order to course-correct based on customer feedback, team velocity and any new information. Ideally release schedules should be kept short in duration in order to facilitate as many functional releases as possible within a given period. The goal of the release plan is to communicate which features will be delivered by the release deadline.
