Release Planning

Planning activity that determines which features or stories will be delivered in upcoming releases.

Definition

Uses velocity and the ordered backlog to forecast scope or date; plans are revisited every iteration. XP calls this the planning game.

Example

With 300 points remaining and velocity 30, about 10 Sprints are needed.

Exam tip

Forecasts, not commitments; update as velocity data accrues.
