Summary

Agile Release Planning involves a high-level strategic meeting where organizations using Agile methodologies plan multiple sprints ahead, typically spanning four to twelve sprints, to assess project risks, resources, and set expectations for feature delivery. This planning session is crucial for aligning stakeholders, including customers, businesses, and engineering teams, on the project's goals and progress tracking. It emphasizes the need for flexibility in planning while ensuring there is a basic understanding of customer expectations and delivery strategies. The process involves several phases, such as reviewing the meeting agenda, project scope, current project status, identifying risks, updating critical project artifacts, and preparing a detailed release plan. The session concludes with teams sharing their plans and commitments, followed by a retrospective to improve future planning sessions.
