THE AGILE RELEASE TRAIN
• A virtual organization of 5 – 12 teams (50-100 individuals) that plans, commits, and executes together
• Common cadence and normalized story point estimating
• Aligned to a common mission via a single program backlog
• Operates under architectural and UX guidance
• Produces valuable and evaluate-able system-level Potentially Shippable Increments (PSI) every 8-12 weeks
The ART is a long-lived, self-organizing team of agile teams that delivers solutions
Define new functionality
Implement Acceptance
Test Deploy
Repeat until further notice. Project chartering not required.

STRUCTURING THE AGILE RELEASE TRAIN
Deployment
Services
Pipeline Services (connecting, feeding, and shielding the delivery
teams. Identification of strategic opportunities)
Development Service (engaged and delivering directly to
Epic/Feature Owners)
Leadership Team ‘Loco’
+ Specialist Chapters (virtual teams made from the workers themselves)
SD
System Team (identifies, manages, and eliminates bottlenecks)
Team
Collaboration

SCALING THE SPRINT
![Page 14: Adopting Leffingwell's Scaled Agile Framework: the theory and the practice - Agile Australia - June 2013](https://reader031.vdocuments.net/reader031/viewer/2022020717/54c6cf584a79591a568b465b/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
RELEASE PLANNING
• Two days every 8-12 weeks
• Everyone attends in person if at all possible
• Product Management owns feature priorities
• Development team owns story planning and high-level estimates
• Architects, UX folks work as intermediaries for governance, interfaces and dependencies
• Result: A committed set of program objectives for the next PSI
Cadence-based PSI/Release Planning meetings are the “pacemaker” of the agile enterprise
