Open the article BAP for Release planning
Explore the Bayesian approach to smart release planning. What features should the project lead realistically include in the next release? When the size of the effort and team velocity are uncertain, as agile methodology reminds us, how can we improve our prediction of time-to-complete? How do we better determine the likelihood of successful completion scenarios for various combinations of features? In this article, I describe how feature-stories capture uncertainty and how the history of past releases affects current beliefs and how they are used in a Bayesian approach to improving the likelihood of delivering on-time.
