A Release Plan communicates, to the level of accuracy that is reasonable, when the release will be available, what features will be in the release, and what user stories are included in the release.

The Release Plan is a collaborative effort involving these roles: the Scrum master facilitates the meeting. The Product owner represents a general view of the product backlog.

This effort provides insights into technical feasibility and dependencies.

The Release Plan consists of the following date elements:

	Iteration
	Sprints included
	Start and end dates
	Collective story points for each sprint
	User stories included in each iteration/sprint color coded to signify:

		To Do items
		In-Process items
		Done items
		Backlog items.
