Conduct Release Planning – Part 2

Release Planning

The output of release planning will be a prioritized backlog with initial slotting of features into sprints. While each sprint must produce features that can be released to the market, releases may be aligned by the inclusion of multiple sprints.

Feature Driven Release Planning

The foundation of a product is identifying the right features to deliver to the market and the prioritization. The product owner is responsible for creating the backlog with input from key stakeholders and the scrum team. Key data points in the product backlog include:

 A description of the feature
 An estimate of value to be used in determining priority and
 An estimate of time to deliver the high-level story associated with the feature

Feature driven release planning relies on the scope and prioritization of product deliverables. This requires a focus on feature-driven development (FDD). FDD focuses on client-centric deliverables. Releases will be scoped to deliver features that add value to the client and market. Features are fixed in the release and scope should not be expanded.
