release planning

The activity of shaping an overall, high-level approach for when and how a product, deliverable, or value increment will be released or handed over.

Key Points

  • Outlines the broad schedule, scope, and sequence of releases or transitions.
  • Aligns the product roadmap, backlog priorities, dependencies, and team capacity to target release windows.
  • Forecasts are iterative and refined as new information emerges and value is delivered.
  • Establishes readiness and completion criteria, risk and compliance checks, and stakeholder communication plans for each release.

Example

A product team maps a quarterly release: they select top-priority features from the backlog, confirm dependencies with the platform team, assess capacity across two iterations, define a pilot rollout followed by general availability, and set entry/exit criteria, communications, and training for customer support.

PMP Example Question

  1. Sprint planning
  2. Release planning
  3. Daily standup
  4. Retrospective

Correct Answer: B — Creating a high-level plan for product releases

Explanation: Release planning focuses on the overarching timing and scope of releases, while sprint planning, standups, and retrospectives operate at the iteration or team level.

ICS/OT Cybersecurity Fundamentals — Security Built for Industrial Systems

Industrial control systems cannot be secured like ordinary IT. A forced reboot, aggressive scan, or incompatible patch can interrupt production and create real safety consequences. Effective OT security begins with understanding the systems, constraints, and risks unique to industrial environments.

This course gives IT professionals, engineers, operators, and security practitioners a practical foundation in ICS threats, zone and conduit design, risk assessment, passive asset visibility, and vendor evaluation. You will learn how IEC 62443, NIST CSF, and MITRE ATT&CK for ICS apply where availability and safety come first.

Eight reconstructed incidents—including Stuxnet, Triton, Ukraine 2015, Colonial Pipeline, and PIPEDREAM—show how attackers move through OT environments, what they target, and which defenses could have changed the outcome.

Watch the course preview, then build the vocabulary, frameworks, and judgment needed to take credible first steps in ICS/OT cybersecurity.
