What is Release Planning?
Planning how a change reaches people in stages, with a way to learn and a way back.
What you learn
Release in stages, and decide in advance what makes you stop.
When it helps
a change will reach many people at once, and you’re not sure how it will go.
Use it at work
- Release to a small group first.
- Choose the measure you’ll watch.
- Set the number that makes you stop or roll back.
- Widen the release only while the measure holds.
Your output
For your next release, write the stages, the measure you’ll watch and the number that makes you stop.
Watch for
Releasing to everyone at once, with no signal for rolling back.
