What is Planview Release?

Planview Release is an enterprise release management product that orchestrates multi-team, multi-system software releases across the full software delivery lifecycle. It ingests data from planning tools, CI/CD pipelines, test environments, and ITSM systems to give release managers, IT portfolio managers, and QA teams a single, real-time view of release activity across an organization. Release accommodates multiple delivery methodologies simultaneously, including Waterfall, Scrum, SAFe, Kanban, and LeSS, normalizing data from each into one unified release view rather than imposing a single process on every team.

Screenshot of Project Release - A project release is tracking the state of an individual release, which is the norm for the more agile releases. The project releases have two types: Project - For normal project work and Independent (can be renamed) - often used for emergency or non-project tracked work. For example, it is quite common to rename the independent release to Emergency, so these release types can be easily distinguished.
Screenshot of Release Workflow - Each release has a Status allowing you to track the current progress of the release, and a release type (e.g. Minor, Major, Emergency). You are also able to define a workflow through the States for each release type.
Screenshot of Enterprise Release - The “Enterprise Release” feature groups two or more Project Releases together. The project releases may have different timescales for their development, but must come together when entering production, and must be tested together before being released.
Screenshot of Release Views - You can see the Releases in a Calendar view, or in a schedule view to see more of a lifecycle breakdown.
Screenshot of Release Dependencies - Your ALM tool will handle dependencies between tasks (User Stories) but often do not allow the easy coordination of Releases between different or even the same product teams. Release allows you to specify the order in which releases should be implemented, allowing teams to see what the potential impacts of delaying their releases are.
