This paper shows an empirical study for a new agile release planning methodology. The case study includes the application of the methodology by two teams in different software business domains (Game development and medical software development). The suggested methodology showed clear improvements in teams’ productivity, enhanced software quality and better handling of the overall software architecture and technical debt. It allowed software teams to have more predictable release plan with fewer technical uncertainties. Results are showed in omparison with the traditional scrum release planning approach.
