System Administrator Scenarios › How to Set Up CA Clarity Agile › Create the Release

Create the Release

As a product owner, you can create a product release in CA Clarity Agile, which consists of user stories that are specific to the product. The team members can work on the user stories associated to the release.

For example, Michael creates Release 1.0 for the product Parking Pass Management System. He can later prioritize the user stories for the product and associate them to the release. The team members can work on the user stories associated to Release 1.0.

Note: When you create and save a release, a unique ID is automatically generated for it. You can use this ID to link this release to CA Clarity PPM.

Follow these steps:

1. Click Administration, and from Application, click Releases.
2. Click New Release.

   The New Release pop-up appears.

3. Complete the requested fields. The following fields require explanation:

   Active

   Specifies whether the release is active. Inactive releases do not appear as options in the filters throughout CA Clarity Agile.

   Default: Active

   Master Release

   Defines the master release to which this release is associated. If the product has been associated with a master release, you can select a master release for this release.

   Release Date

   Specifies the date for the release. The release date and start date can be the same. To ensure the best burndown data for your release, ensure that this date is the end date of the last sprint in the release. If the team does not know the release date at the start of a release, they can update the release date as new sprints are added.

   Format: mm/dd/yy

4. Save your changes.
