Product-Focused Software Process Improvement: 15th International Conference, PROFES 2014 : Helsinki, Finland, December 10-12, 2014 : Proceedings Volume 2

This tutorial provides hands-on knowledge and skills to perform real-time product innovation planning. As the starting point, current deficits in the product innovation planning process are analyzed. Subsequently, different strategies to overcome the current deficits are studied. The proposed process is accompanied by tool support combining optimized release planning strategies offered by ReleasePlanner 2.0 with real-time issue management operated by Atlassians JIRA. A variety of use cases are studied to (i) illustrate the process and (ii) document the added value for product innovation.
