Release Readiness Plan

A plan that lays out the actions for the involved Scrum Teams and other stakeholders to verify that the minimum release criteria are satisfied and that the product or product increment is ready to be deployed.

Key Points

  • Defines the tasks, owners, and checkpoints to confirm minimum release criteria are met.
  • Aligns multiple Scrum Teams and contributors on what evidence is needed for release.
  • Captures required proofs such as test results, security/compliance signoffs, and updated documentation.
  • Supports go/no-go decisions, including risk assessment, rollback steps, and environment readiness.

Example

A product group preparing a quarterly release creates a Release Readiness Plan that lists security testing, performance benchmarks, UAT approvals, updated release notes, training materials, and a rollback plan. Each item has an owner and due date. Once all items are completed and signed off by the Product Owner and compliance, the increment is cleared for production deployment.

PMP Example Question

Which artifact outlines the actions Scrum Teams and other stakeholders take to verify that minimum release criteria are met and a product increment can be deployed?

  1. Definition of Done
  2. Release Readiness Plan
  3. Sprint Backlog
  4. Product Roadmap

Correct Answer: B — Release Readiness Plan

Explanation: The Release Readiness Plan specifies the verification steps, owners, and evidence needed to confirm the increment is ready for release. The other options do not define these end-to-end release verification activities.

AI Systems with Claude, for Scrum Masters and Project Managers

Most AI pilots in project management do not fail on the model. They fail because somebody pointed the thing at a decision instead of at a task. This course is built around that distinction, and around the work that follows once you get it right.

Eight teaching sections, taught against one running project from the first lecture to the last. You watch a system get built, then you build the same one against your own sprint. Nothing here is a demo that works only on the example.

You finish with five working systems and you keep them. The sprint report machine turns your board export and standup notes into the report you currently write by hand. The retro intelligence system tells you what the team keeps saying, not just what it said this time. The stakeholder comms engine drafts the update in the register the audience expects. The backlog health monitor flags the quiet decay nobody has time to check for. The risk and dependency tracker follows the chains that actually bite.

Seventy-six working files ship with it, across four sections, so every system is built against real sprint data rather than material invented for a slide. Four sprints of retrospectives, board exports, standup notes, backlog and risk data.
