Overview

Product and software teams often borrow a fixed Gantt plan that breaks after the first sprint. This document plans in releases and sprints instead: a vision page, release goals, a backlog summary by theme, a sprint cadence chart, a definition of done, a ceremony calendar and a risk register.

The sample follows Orrindale Engineering, a team building a field service portal over 16 weeks with an $880,000 budget that includes a 10% contingency. Replace the project name, sponsor, release dates, backlog counts, owners and risks with your own, then keep the register current at every sprint review.

Useful for

  • A product manager baselining a new release plan before the sponsor approves funding
  • A software team agreeing what done means before the first sprint starts
  • A sprint review where the sponsor checks progress against release goals and risks

What's included

  • Vision page with title block, budget and contingency figures, and three planning principles
  • Release goals page with cumulative budget by release and three highlight cards
  • Backlog themes shown as a layered diagram, plus the flow of a single job update
  • Sprint cadence Gantt for 16 weeks with owners, plus one sprint broken down by day
  • Definition of done as a four-step flow, with an escalation path for stories that miss it
  • Ceremony calendar and a risk heat map with a detailed risk register

How to use it

  1. 1

    Click Make a copy in Google Docs, then confirm on the Google page. The copy is saved to your own Google Drive.

  2. 2

    Fill in the title block on the first page with your project name, sponsor, manager, version and start date, and keep the status as draft until it is signed.

  3. 3

    Replace the release goals, backlog themes and story counts with your own, and update the sprint bars so every release closes on a real date.

  4. 4

    Rewrite the definition of done and the risk register with the checks your team uses and a named owner for every risk.

  5. 5

    Delete the Make it yours guide page, then share the document with your sponsor or present it at your next sprint review.

Questions

Is this agile project plan template free?

Yes. It is a free Google Docs template. Make a copy to your own Google Drive and edit it freely for personal or team use.

Can I use it for a team that does not run two-week sprints?

Yes. Change the week labels and the sprint bars on the cadence page to match your length, then adjust the release dates and the ceremony calendar to fit.

Are the organisation and figures real?

No. Orrindale Engineering, its people, budget and dates are fictional sample content. Replace every name and figure with your own before sharing.
