Introduction
How often are you satisfied with the speed, timing, and results of your release planning activities? What remains a mystery and what works for you? This paper describes what was learned over an 18-month journey of wrestling with how to effectively prepare for release planning. How do we define "effective" in our context of a small number of Agile teams working on a single product backlog?
We believe our learning and planning is effective if we can plan quickly, start on a path, and have a resulting delivery that meets our desired business outcomes in a projected timeframe that, on average, does not vary beyond acceptable limits. Our finding is that having a lightweight Discovery and Estimation Process that is centered on individuals and interactions with the teams doing the work results in effective release planning. It is a flexible process that is disciplined, heightens collaboration, builds understanding, uses techniques that fit the new work, and, when timed right, avoids a “Sprint 0.”
