The major objective of Release Planning Sessions

The goal is to produce a Release Plan Schedule and give the Scrum Team a clear picture of upcoming releases and delivery timelines for the product, ensuring they stay aligned with the Product Owner and key business stakeholders' expectations.

Key Points

  • Creates a Release Plan with target dates and intended scope for each release.
  • Gives the Scrum Team visibility into release timing to coordinate work and dependencies.
  • Aligns the team with the Product Owner and business stakeholders on priorities and expectations.
  • Provides a forecast that guides sprint planning and is refined as new information emerges.

Example

A fintech product team conducts a release planning session for the next quarter. They map features to three planned releases, set target dates, note dependencies on the API team, estimate team capacity, and agree with the Product Owner and marketing on what will ship in each release. This becomes the Release Plan Schedule used to guide upcoming sprint plans.
