Organize Releases in Productboard
Create release buckets under Library → Releases, then associate the relevant Features with them. Use a separate timeframe when a precise schedule is required.
Before you start: Have editing access to Releases and Features. Agree whether buckets represent versions, near-term delivery groups or broad planning horizons.
Worked example: Group Invite audit and Permission model in Release 17, but keep Optional invite branding in a later bucket. The release explains the intended grouping without claiming a delivery date.
Step-by-step guide
Create the release
Open Main menu → Library → Releases and choose Create release. Select a release group if your workspace supports and uses them.
Describe its boundary
Open the new release sidebar. Explain what joins the bucket and what is intentionally deferred.
Assign the Features
Open each relevant Feature’s Detail sidebar and use its Releases association. Check the intended release rather than a similarly named bucket.
Set release progress
Use the flag beside the release name to choose Upcoming, In progress or Completed. This is the release’s own status.
Check the planning view
Review the grouped Features with delivery owners. Keep explicit dates in timeframes and explain uncertainty to stakeholders.
Common mistakes
Treating every bucket name as a commitment
A release is a flexible grouping. A month or quarter in its name is not proof that the work is scheduled or staffed.
