Business success hinges on successfully creating products with
the right features. You must correctly analyze the needs of the
customer and match these needs with your resources to not only
produce a product and but also deliver it in a timely manner. An
in-depth understanding of systematic release planning can put you
on this path. Authored by renowned expert Gunther Ruhe, Product
Release Planning: Methods, Tools and Applications presents methods
and tools to apply sound planning to product development and
product management.
The book covers the different aspects of supporting product
release decisions ranging from foundations to methods, tools, and
applications. Equal parts art and science, the actual
decision-making is described as a process of combining rigorous
methods with the intuition and experience of human experts. Ruhe
provides a guided tour through the methodology and use of release
planning, starting with technology and market needs and proceeding
to product planning and finally to development projects. He studies
three fundamental classes of problems: prioritization of features,
product release planning on a strategic level (roadmapping), and
release planning on an operational level (staffing).
Presenting and discussing tool support for all the methods
covered, the author supplies case studies that underpin the
methodologies with practical examples. He also supplies trial
accounts (read only) for the two most important decision tools for
prioritization and product release planning. The author freely
admits that the techniques presented are not supposed to be the
ultimate truth, but a direction to go to support human
decision-making, to better understand the rational of the decisions
made, and to grow in the capability of mastering the whole planning
process.
