The purpose of this page is to provide insight into how the
Release PlanningXP planning practice
applies to our situation.

• Define vision for the entire project.
• Define the release date for the next two releases.
• Define the minimum marketable features for the current release and start to place features that won't fit in this release into the next release.
• Define all of the stories for the current feature and most of the current release. Place stories that don't fit into the next release.
• Estimate and prioritize stories for the current iteration and the following three iterations.
• Determine detailed requirements and customer tests for the stories in the current iteration.
