Abstract

A compute-implemented method and apparatus for assisting release planning, including steps of: obtaining remaining requirements that are expected to be included in a current release plan; obtaining the release plan, which comprises a set of planned requirements that are already included in the release plan and a set of release constraints; determining that there is a conflict between the release constraints and the planned requirements; rendering, in response to this determination, a proposal to create a modified release plan that is a function of the remaining requirements and of the current release plan; and forecasting, as a function of the remaining requirements and of the modified release plan, whether the addition of another requirement to the release plan would create a conflict with the release constraints.
