How Can Agile Release Planning Benefit Project Management?

Remember the days of drawn out major software releases that have since been replaced with frequent 'point releases?' Well, a lot of that is thanks to Agile Release Planning. Agile Release Planning breaks larger laborious releases into smaller more manageable releases.

For example, rather than releasing version 1 followed by version 2, Agile Release Planning would promote breaking the release into smaller more manageable version releases of 1.1 and 1.2. Further, Agile Release Planning would promote a detailed iteration of Agile Sprints to formalize all of the required subtasks that need to be accomplished between version 1.1 leading to version 1.2.

This iterative product release approach makes product development much more approachable for design teams, as they are tasked with smaller more realistic releases and it also keep customers engaged gaining access to new excited product releases on a more frequent basis.
