Agile Release Planning and Roadmap Management

Agile teams often deliver work in sprints but struggle to show stakeholders when larger outcomes will actually land. This course covers release planning and roadmap management so teams can group work into meaningful releases and communicate realistic timelines. It suits product and delivery teams in African technology firms, banks and digital government units.

What you will be able to do

  • Structure a product backlog into themes, features and releasable increments.
  • Plan releases that group sprints into outcomes stakeholders understand.
  • Build and maintain a roadmap that shows direction without false precision.
  • Forecast delivery ranges using velocity and empirical data.
  • Manage scope and priority changes across releases.
  • Communicate roadmap updates to executives and business stakeholders.
