  Release planning is a process in the SAP Change Request Management (SV-SMG-CM) component that helps to manage and coordinate the implementation of changes across multiple systems. It allows users to plan, track, and monitor the progress of changes in a structured way. The process involves creating a release plan, which is a document that outlines the scope of the change, the timeline for implementation, and any associated risks. 
  
  How to use it: 
  To use release planning in SAP Change Request Management, users must first create a release plan. This document should include information about the scope of the change, the timeline for implementation, and any associated risks. Once the release plan is created, users can then assign tasks to different teams or individuals responsible for implementing the change. The progress of each task can be tracked and monitored using the release planning process.
