Overview

Release Management makes a product ready for release to the customers.

It covers architecture, integration of deliverables from subprojects or teams,
testing the integration and verifying the requirements, as well as preparing all
documentation for the release.

3BSE058808D1001304 D
Stakeholder communication

 Different stakeholders – different needs – different information

 ”Right information to the right people”
 Who, What, When
 Stakeholders - examples
 Scrum Master
 Product Owner
 Product Managment
 Scrum Team
 Test teams (PIT, PTT, STT)

 R = Responsible A = Accountable C = Consulted I = Informed

 Defines documents to create during a project
 Defines when the document shall be ready, i.e. at which Gate.
 Defines the roles involved for every document type
 Every project has a ”Names on RACI”
