Master Releases

You can associate a master release with one or more products. Associating products with a master release allows you to track user stories that are completed by multiple product teams as part of a single cross product release.

For example, Company X is working on a release that integrates three of its products (A, B, and C). The following product teams are assigned the user stories and tasks for each integration piece:

A master release D is created and associated with all the three products. The master release allows Company X to oversee the progress of all the user stories and tasks that are completed by all the teams. The Product members can view the associated master release from a user story.

When you assign a product release to a master release, all user stories within the product release are automatically assigned to the master release. If you do not want all user stories in a product release that is assigned to a master release, associate individual user stories to a master release. You can associate individual user stories to a master release as long as the product is associated with the master release.

You can associate a product with multiple master releases.

If your CA Clarity Agile product is integrated to a Clarity project, you can associate the Clarity project to a master release in CA Clarity Agile. Doing so allows you to manage all user stories and tasks that are assigned to the master release from Clarity.
