Why this class?

"Release Planning is an essential part of many Scrum projects especially for all longer term development activities on enterprise level. You won't be able to run a scaled, multi-team, long-term Scrum without any means of Release Planning based on team estimates"

I will layout a roadmap that has been time tested and proven (with coaching of several teams and projects) on how YOU can facilitate Release planning for a project to spring board it to success.
