Starting Release Plans

Release Plans can be executed right after creation.

To Start a Release Plan

1. Open the Release Planner perspective.
2. Do one of the following:
   • Select the Release Plan from the List View/ Calendar View and click the Start icon in the toolbar.
   • Double-click the release to access the Release Board view and click the Start icon in the toolbar.

   The planned start date/time of a Release Plan in status "Draft" can be brought forward (to the current point in time) or delayed as needed. To do so:

   • If the Release Plan start date/time lies in the future: start the Release Plan and click Start to confirm the current time as new start date/time
   • If the Release Plan start date/time lies in the past: start the Release Plan, select the Update the planned start date option and enter a new start date/time.

The statuses of all Phases and Tasks are reset to the default value when the plan is started. Note that single tasks or phases activated upfront for testing purposes could have changed their status.
