Platform Terminology Setup: Release = Planning Interval

[Yong Yang]

Hi,

According to Develop on Cadence & Release on Demand  in SAFe 6.x, it seems that Planning Interval is not the same thing as Release. How do you think of it?

Thanks,

No it is not:

Planning Interval is just a cadence-based timebox, typically 10-12 weeks.

Release is batch in any size of work teams deliver.

Since you're asking the question in Jira Align community, I would emphasize the point that Jira Align fits very well to this and further approaches regarding release delivery.

I hope this helps.

Best wishes,
