Abstract
In Incremental Software Development today, consecutive series of releases are generated with adding and changing some features in the process of development. Release planning is in fact prioritizing and assigning the features for different releases and deciding which features to be included in every future release to satisfy the stakeholders. There are several different methods to solve the problems in release planning for new products in industry and each one has their own benefits. In this study we investigate which release planning approaches have been proposed, their degree of empirical experience, and their factors for requirements selection. In this paper, we are studying current approaches in and investigate their weakness and strength by analyzing each of them.we conclude that many approaches are related to each other and use similar techniques to address the release planning challenges.
