Release Plan Template

Plan every step of your release

If you’re planning to release a new product or enhance an existing product with additional features or fixes, you’ll need to be prepared and organized. This is where a release planning template can help. 

Does your team ever struggle with:

• Managing complex releases?
• Designing actionable, step-by-step plans? 
• Tracking a project’s progress?

Eliminate these obstacles fast with Wrike’s Agile release plan template.

• Use the product release plan template to simplify complicated releases

The product release plan template will help you divide complex plans into manageable steps, customize workflows to keep things moving, and track progress on a visual timeline.

Interested in trying Wrike’s release plan template for yourself? Just follow these three simple steps to get started.

Step 1: Break down your release plan into phases

From your Wrike homepage, enter the “Release Plan” Space to view your tools. Select the one marked “Backlog Release Project Dashboard” on the left-hand side.  

Here, you can break down your release plan into phased projects and tasks, sorted by their due dates. You can also keep your deferred projects separate to prioritize more urgent tasks.

Step 2: Visualize your plan, phases, and sprints

Get a 360° view of your plan with Wrike’s product release template. Use the “Release Calendar” tool to display your phases, projects, and scheduled release dates in a calendar format, color-coded for urgency. 

Alternatively, select the “Sprint Dashboard” to keep an eye on your active and archived sprint projects. 

Step 3: Keep all your work in one safe place

In the “Projects and Folders” section, you’ll find a “Release Backlog” folder. There, all the projects that were added to the folder will appear, along with their statuses and additional details. 

You can add a new item, too, in case it’s not in another space. Archive completed or paused projects in the “Deferred” folder for future use.
