Abstract

Context and motivation Strategic release planning (SRP) for a globally used information system is a challenging task. Changes to requirements on different abstraction levels are arriving continuously and have an impact on long-term selected features. Question/problem The major question is how to successfully do SRP to create competitive advantage. Principal ideas/results An exploratory case study in an industrial context was conducted (1) to get a deeper understanding of the as-is SRP process in practice, (2) to evaluate the suitability of a to-be SRP process, introducing the EVOLVE II method and corresponding ReleasePlanner tool and (3) to gather additional requirements for the to-be SRP process, with respect to feature generation and feature selection. Contribution In this paper we describe the case study and present lessons learned to improve and customize a SRP process in practice. In particular, we propose the Requirements Abstraction and Solution Model (RASM) to support feature generation.
