Overview

This free template helps product, engineering, and marketing teams align on what’s shipping and when — without the messy spreadsheets or status update meetings.

It includes a sample database so you can see exactly how to structure your data for release planning, but it’s flexible enough to use with any Softr-supported data source (including Google Sheets, Notion, monday.com, HubSpot, and more).

Why use this release planning template

Keep everyone on the same page: Give stakeholders instant visibility into timelines, updates, and what’s coming next.
Streamline cross-functional workflows: Connect product, engineering, marketing, and leadership teams in one tool.
Cut down on back-and-forth: Replace one-off Slack messages and scattered notes with a centralized, searchable source of truth.

Template features:

Track and visualize your upcoming releases using a drag-and-drop calendar view.
New release form
Let anyone submit a new release with key details like date, description, and owners.
User stories and internal notes
Add, edit, and manage user stories tied to each release and capture context, decisions, and updates in one place.
User permissions

Allow users to access the platform from any device with a fully responsive design. You can even turn your app into a downloadable mobile app with Softr's PWA feature.

Who is this release planning template for?

This template is built for cross-functional product development teams, but it can be easily adapted for:

Agile teams: Plan, track, and iterate on release cycles with transparency.
