  <mainDescription>&lt;p>&#xD;
    At the beginning of a project the team will create a&amp;nbsp;high-level release plan.&amp;nbsp; The team cannot possibly know&#xD;
    everything up front so a detailed plan is not necessary.&amp;nbsp; The&amp;nbsp;release plan should&amp;nbsp;address:&#xD;
&lt;/p>&#xD;
&lt;ul>&#xD;
    &lt;li>&#xD;
        The number and duration of the sprints&#xD;
    &lt;/li>&#xD;
    &lt;li>&#xD;
        How many people or teams should be on this project&#xD;
    &lt;/li>&#xD;
    &lt;li>&#xD;
        The number of releases&#xD;
    &lt;/li>&#xD;
    &lt;li>&#xD;
        The value delivered in&amp;nbsp;each release&#xD;
    &lt;/li>&#xD;
    &lt;li>&#xD;
        The ship date for the releases&#xD;
    &lt;/li>&#xD;
&lt;/ul>&#xD;
&lt;p>&#xD;

&lt;/p>&#xD;
&lt;ul>&#xD;
    &lt;li>&#xD;
        The prioritized Product Backlong&#xD;
    &lt;/li>&#xD;
    &lt;li>&#xD;
        The&amp;nbsp;estimated velocity&#xD;
    &lt;/li>&#xD;
    &lt;li>&#xD;
        Any hard and fast&amp;nbsp;to-market dates the Product Owner must satisfy&#xD;
    &lt;/li>&#xD;
