What is continuous SRP?Towards continuous SRP
Continuous SRP is a specialization of the traditional SRPwith the added capability of adapting the release plan in
response to events that occur in the daily development activity

What is our approach?Towards continuous SRP
Automatic tool Project leader
Software release re-planning
Proposedrelease plan(s)
Release planselection
Release planadaptation and
approval
Updatedrelease plan
Event detector and notifications
Detected risks or issues
Analysis of risk and issues
Trigger
Events:• Changes in the dependencies• Changes in the effort• Changes in the availability• Changes in the skills• Changes in the cost
Risks and issues:• Risk of overrun
• Time• Cost
• Unfeasible solution

What is our research agenda?• Determine the needs of the industry for
continuous SRP (empirical study)• Improvement of the approach
Additional events, risks, issues• Proof of concept (tool implementation)
Integration with development tools (e.g., Trello)• Validation in industry
Some contacts already made!• SIEMENS, SEnerCon, Agilogy, and Getupcode

Questions for the audience• To practitioners:
Would you use it? Why?• All:
What other events would you consider? What other risks or issues should be handled?
• To researchers: What do you miss in the research agenda?
