Target Customers for Release

The set of stakeholders or users selected to receive a particular release. Business stakeholders can choose to deliver a release to only specific groups, and the Release Plan documents which customers are included.

Key Points

  • Not every release will target all business stakeholders or users.
  • The business stakeholders may choose to limit certain releases to a subset of users.
  • The Release Plan specifies the Target Customers for Release.
  • Target Customers for Release are the defined groups expected to receive, use, or validate the increment.

Example

A mobile banking team plans a release of a new bill-pay feature to company employees and a 5% beta cohort of Android users only. The Release Plan lists those groups as the Target Customers for Release, while iOS users and the wider public will get the feature in a later release.
