THE AGILE RELEASE TRAIN
• A virtual organization of 5 – 12 teams (50-100 individuals) that plans, commits, and executes together
• Common cadence and normalized story point estimating
• Aligned to a common mission via a single program backlog
• Operates under architectural and UX guidance
• Produces valuable and evaluate-able system-level Potentially Shippable Increments (PSI) every 8-12 weeks
The ART is a long-lived, self-organizing team of agile teams that delivers solutions
Define new functionality
Implement Acceptance
Test Deploy
Repeat until further notice. Project chartering not required.

RELEASE PLANNING
• Two days every 8-12 weeks
• Everyone attends in person if at all possible
• Product Management owns feature priorities
• Development team owns story planning and high-level estimates
• Architects, UX folks work as intermediaries for governance, interfaces and dependencies
• Result: A committed set of program objectives for the next PSI
Cadence-based PSI/Release Planning meetings are the “pacemaker” of the agile enterprise
