Frequently Asked Questions

What are release requirements?

Release requirements are the documented set of features, fixes, criteria and conditions that must be met for a software release to ship. They include scope, dependencies, testing requirements, rollout plan, rollback procedures and success criteria - serving as the source of truth for the release.

What should release requirements include?

Complete release requirements include the release scope (features, fixes), dependencies, testing requirements (functional, performance, security), entry and exit criteria, rollout plan (phased, full launch), rollback procedures, communication plan and success metrics for monitoring post-release.

What is the difference between a release plan and release requirements?

Release requirements specify what must be true for the release to ship - the criteria. A release plan describes how the release will be executed - the timeline, owners and tasks. Requirements answer "what?"; plans answer "how?" Most teams produce both for any significant release.

How do you plan a software release?

Define scope and exit criteria. Identify dependencies and risks. Plan testing - functional, performance, security, regression. Choose a rollout strategy (canary, phased, full launch). Build the rollback plan. Coordinate enablement (docs, training, support readiness). Get sign-off, ship and monitor.

What is a release rollback plan?

A rollback plan documents exactly how to revert a release if it causes issues post-deployment. It includes the trigger criteria for rollback, step-by-step rollback procedure, validation that rollback succeeded, communication plan and any data implications. Always test rollback procedures before they're needed.
