| Abstract | Incrementalsoftware development offers products in releases where each release provides additional or modified functionality compared to the previous release. Incremental delivery of software products provides business value earlier and allows for quicker reception of customer feedback. Release planning for incremental software development assigns features to releases such that technical, resource, risk, and budget constraints are met. A feature can be offered as part of a release only if all of its necessary tasks are done before the given release date. We assume a given pool of human resources with different degrees of productivity to perform different types of tasks. In the context of release planning, the question studied in this project is how to allocate these resources to the tasks of implementing the features such that the value gained from the released features is maximized. |
