Insider Tips for Advanced Release Planning
Release planning is a basic function of agile project
management. With it, we can develop a high-level plan showing
when features (or “user stories”) will be completed, show which
features we can commit to at major milestones in the project, and plan
for the interlocks with other inter-related projects. Most books
on agile management teach the basics of release planning, yet many
managers struggle with everyday planning issues that are often missed
in the agile basic training.
This 90 presentation, taught by
agile project management expert Kevin Aguanno (author of over a dozen
published books and DVDs on agile topics), will complete your
release planning training by showing you:
- A brief overview of basic release planning (a refresher)
- The importance of regular release plan maintenance
- How to build a release plan with fixed delivery dates vs. fixed scope
- How to account for statutory holidays, known vacations, or other resource constraints
- How
to account for periodic blackouts – periods when no changes are allowed
to be made to demo/UAT/production systems during these periods
- How to plan for resolving defects without affecting velocity metrics and project burndown forecasts
Designed
for those with some existing knowledge of agile, this course takes
participants to the next level in their understanding of how to build
realistic release plans.

Testimonials"Thanks for the presentation today. It was a pleasure listening to a 'real world' experienced agile practitioner.
It
was very gratifying to hear you touch on many of the challenges that
one faces while dealing with 'planning'. I work in the Clinical
informatics area and have been a practitioner of Agile methodology for
about 5+ years although without any formal training (and that includes
project management training). There is a lot of common sense and gut
instincts involved. I find this a nice fit for many of our research
projects where we are dealing with a lot of 'unknowns'. I would be very
much interested in your future presentations / workshops geared towards
in-depth exploration of specific areas (as you did today)."
