Summary

Release planning is not a crystal ball into which someone can look and predict the outcome of a project. Rather, release planning provides a way for the team and product owner to tune committed work to users' and customers' needs without planning for too much detail too soon. The team and product owner must revisit the release plan periodically during the release and work together to deliver features that delight customers.

In Chapter 3, Sprint Planning – Fine-tune the Sprint Commitment, we will discuss how the team works with the product owner to create a good short-term plan for one sprint.
