Software Release Planning Form

Streamline your software release planning with Paperform

Coordinating a software release involves juggling feature priorities, managing dependencies, assessing risks, and aligning multiple teams around a shared timeline. This Software Release Planning Form gives product managers, engineering leads, and agile teams a single, structured place to capture every detail of an upcoming release—from high-level goals and feature scope to technical dependencies and go-live readiness.

Built for software development teams, SaaS companies, IT departments, and digital agencies, this template helps you replace scattered spreadsheets, Slack threads, and email chains with a clear, collaborative planning workflow. Conditional logic adapts the form based on release type and priority level, so you only see the questions that matter. Once submitted, use Stepper to route the plan for stakeholder approval, create Jira epics, notify cross-functional teams, and kick off your release checklist—all automatically.

Whether you're planning a major product launch, a minor bug-fix release, or a phased rollout, this form ensures nothing falls through the cracks. Capture feature descriptions, prioritize using MoSCoW or RICE frameworks, map dependencies across frontend, backend, QA, and DevOps, and identify risks before they derail your timeline.

Paperform's doc-style editor makes it easy to customize the form for your team's workflow, and native integrations with project management tools, Slack, and your CRM mean every release plan feeds directly into your existing stack. With AI Insights, you can quickly summarize submitted plans, spot recurring bottlenecks, and share release readiness reports with leadership.

Take control of your release cycle, improve cross-team visibility, and ship with confidence using this ready-to-use software release planning template.
