Full Guide on the Importance, Concept, Operation, and Exam Tips of Release Planning in the Product Backlog Management of PSM-I

Release Planning forms a key aspect of Product Backlog Management in the Professional Scrum Master I (PSM-I).
Why is Release Planning Important? It is crucial as it lays out a roadmap for product development, setting expectations about what features will be delivered, by when and the cost.
What is Release Planning? This planning is a collaborative effort involving customer representatives and the Scrum team to develop a plan to have the product made available to the customers.
How Does Release Planning Work? The Product Owner, Scrum Master, and the Development Team hold meetings where approximate estimations are made to determine how many sprints are needed to complete the items in the product backlog.
Exam Tips: Answering Questions on Release Planning You should be able to differentiate between release planning and sprint planning, know who are involved in the process, what goals they should meet, and understand how to estimate the time required for release. Additionally, use the Scrum Guide as a primary study source, and practice answering questions based on real-world scenarios. Avoid memorizing by rote; instead, understand the principles behind the Scrum practices.

Release Planning practice test

Release Planning involves deciding on a commitment point at which a version of the product is to be released and involves predicting or forecasting the functionality that will be available at the end of the release. Though Scrum does not formally have a 'Release Planning' event, it is a real-world activity that many teams use. The concept usually involves a long-term look ahead at the Product Backlog, combined with the historical Velocity of the development team, to forecast what might be done by the given release date.
