Defines release planning, highlights its importance, and dispels misconceptions about it; Presents in-depth modeling options related to business, resource, risk, and technological constraints; Provides a highly flexible, customizable method for conducting systematic release planning called EVOLVE II; Supplies a method for re-planning the ongoing release, trying to accommodate changes in the best possible way; Covers release planning software such as VeryBestChoiceLight, ReleasePlanner, and RASORP and includes public logins to two web-based tools, allowing readers to independently experience their functionality; Contains case studies and application scenarios that give further insight into the practical realization of the proposed methods; Details operational instructions on how to start the process of product release planning. The author freely admits that the techniques presented are not supposed to be the ultimate truth, but a direction to go to support human decision-making, to better understand the rational of the decisions made, and to grow in the capability of mastering the whole planning process. --
