In this blog post, we would understand
What is a Deployment Plan
What is a Release
How to make use of Deployment Plans and Releases
We know Project is an endeavor to perform work in a given amount of time. Each Project lead wants to define the timelines based on the Project plan. But how do you facilitate coordination across multiple projects from a timeline perspective. This is where a Deployment Plan is required. The Deployment Plan can be thought of like a train and each Project can be thought of as a compartment in that train. One Deployment Plan can serve multiple Projects but one Project can only have a maximum of one Deployment Plan. The assignment of Deployment Plan to a Project is optional.
A train has always a schedule of stops along the way. They are called Releases. A Release can exist only within a unique Deployment Plan and has a date range. As an example look at the screenshot below
Note that since only one Deployment Plan can be assigned to Project, The Requirement has only the Release assignment and does not need Deployment Plan assignment
Gantt chart allows you to see Release and Project timeboxes together
