Description

Release planning, also known as PI planning, is a standard procedure among scaled scrum teams and is usually conducted over a specific timeframe such as a quarter or a designated number of sprints, often five. During this planning phase, tasks from the product backlog are allocated to teams and assigned to specific sprints, with priorities set based on the targeted release version. Typically, the work is already organized and prioritized in the product backlog prior to this release planning session. This article aims to explore ways to measure the effectiveness of release planning after the meeting has concluded. It will identify suitable metrics and reports that can be utilized to evaluate the discrepancies between the planned and actual outcomes, as well as to demonstrate the return on investment (ROI) for management concerning the resources spent on release planning meetings. Given that such meetings can require significant resources—like a team of 100 members engaged over two days, equating to 1,600 hours—the analysis of these metrics becomes crucial for justifying the investment. The importance of continuous evaluation after release planning cannot be overstated, as it directly impacts future planning efforts and overall team productivity.
