The objective of this workflow is to deliver changes to the Operations and Support group so they can lead the configuration process in the operational environment. To do that you must ensure that the needs of the operations and support group are met — after all, these are the people that will keep the application running once it is in production. Each deployment is determined by small releases of a set of features. After a few iterations, features or changes that a part of the current release should be delivered to the operations and support team that will make it available to the user community. The Release Planning determines which set of features should be delivered in each release.
