When the product owner sits together with the project manager to plan the next release, TargetProcess can help greatly by providing a drag and drop release planning interface.
What are the most important aspects of release planning?
TargetProcess provides all of this information. You can see prioritized features and stories in the product backlog and can easily assign them to a release and balance the releases workload. You can try different release plans and easily change existing plans.
The product owner can watch overall project progress, track bugs, see quality metrics and receive notifications about user story progress. She'll know the true project status at all times with just a few mouse clicks.
