Release planning

Plan releases with Value Streams, commitments, capacity, risk, and evidence attached.

ScrumDo connects portfolio releases to Portfolio Value Streams, delivery assignments, committed dates, readiness gaps, dependencies, capacity pressure, and decisions so release planning can survive contact with real work.

Portfolio release planning across commitments and delivery work
How it works

ScrumDo is a work management system with the decision context kept on the work.

Teams still plan and deliver with familiar boards, cards, releases, blockers, and reviews. ScrumDo keeps the decision context on the work: stories, work type, flow policy, budget, Cost of Delay, release commitments, and decision records.

Teams still plan and deliver with familiar boards, cards, releases, blockers, and reviews. The difference is that ScrumDo lets the organization attach the context that usually gets scattered across decks and spreadsheets: customer or worker stories, portfolio work type, flow policy, budget assumptions, Cost of Delay, release commitments, and decision records. Leaders can then inspect the work from strategy, economics, evidence, and delivery angles without treating any one metric as automatic truth.

Commitment quality

A release date is not a plan by itself.

ESP frames planning as selection, scheduling, sequencing, dependency management, and feedback. ScrumDo brings those concerns into release planning without making teams abandon their delivery boards.

Portfolio Value Streams

Organize release governance across value streams with two-tier Major (strategic bets) and Minor (tactical room) release tracks.

Committed dates

Track approaching, overdue, or conflicting commitments before the status meeting.

Delivery assignments

Connect release intent to the rooms and work expected to deliver it.

Evidence gaps

Show what is missing before leaders approve a major commitment.

Capacity and governance

Make overload, dependencies, and rogue burn visible early.

Release planning gets safer when leaders can see capacity pressure, blocked dependencies, economic tradeoffs, and automated spend controls in the same review.

Capacity pressure

Surface overloaded plans before they become surprise escalations.

Spend-After-Stop governance

On Enterprise, automated audit logs (ReleasePlanningAuditLog) prevent rogue burn when a release is stopped or cancelled.

Decision trail

Record why a plan changed, not just what changed.

Practice those communities already use

Grounded in delivery practice those communities already use.
