What is the final plan review - in release planning day 2?

• A. Teams and Business Owner peer review all final plans
• B. Executives approve final budgets
• C. Customers approve plans
• D. PMO signs off

Answer: (A)

The final plan review on Release Planning Day 2 is all about validating and committing to the integrated PI plan through a collaborative review between the teams and the Business Owner. Teams present their draft plans, and the Business Owner reviews them to ensure alignment with business objectives, capacity, and dependencies. They discuss risks, dependencies, and confidence, make any necessary adjustments, and come to a shared commitment to the plan. This peer review ensures the plan is feasible and aligned across the ART before execution. Budgets, customer approvals, or PMO sign-offs aren’t what this day is about; the emphasis is on team and Business Owner alignment and commitment.
