Earlier this year we introduced a preview of the new Delivery Plans feature for Visual Studio Team Services (VSTS).  Today, I’m excited to announce that Delivery Plans is officially out of “preview”, and is now included with the VSTS basic access level at no additional cost. Additionally, Delivery Plans will also be included in Team Foundation Server 2017 Update 2.

Delivery Plans help drive alignment by overlaying backlogs from different teams onto a shared sprint schedule. As you assemble a Delivery Plan to meet your needs, add details from your work items (state, tags, additional fields, etc.) along with visual date markers highlighting important events and milestones.

Please visit our documentation to learn how you can leverage plans for your organization. For details on the features included in the VSTS basic access level, please head to our feature matrix.
