ABSTRACT
This chapter explains the Telco case study and demonstrate the kind of support John can expect in making decisions about his product roadmap. It describes how to perform a systematic release planning process as specified by the EVOLVE II method using ReleasePlannerTM as a supporting tool. Planning objectives should be aligned as much as possible to the company’s business strategy. In EVOLVE II, there are two principal ways to derive the final planning decisions. The first one is to ask selected stakeholders to score the planning alternatives in terms of their overall attractiveness. The second option is to evaluate the alternatives in terms of the additional concerns. In addition to the structure of the alternative plans, formal quality evaluation is of interest. The quality of a plan is measured by the total number of stakeholder feature points achieved.
