Agile Release Plan

An Agile release plan acts as a project's map, providing context and direction on product goals, vision, and expectations.

According to a report published by PMI, the most common factor in project failure was a lack of clearly defined goals, so for product managers, nailing the planning stage is crucial.

Agile release management is a project management methodology that aims to deliver software features to customers safely and quickly in a sustainable way. It involves dividing the development into iterative sprints, each with a specific scope and time frame.

Determine the number of sprints
Create a release sprint
Identify a target date for the release
Update the release plan continuously
