, A product roadmap contains the high-level requirements and
epics broken up into releases; a release plan showcases the
number of iterations needed to deliver certain features and user
stories decomposed from epics.
Explanation:
A product roadmap acts as a high-level summary of a product's
alignment to strategic initiatives and objectives. A product
roadmap generally contains themes, epics, and goals broken up
into releases. A release plan decomposes a product roadmap's
high-level strategy into an actionable plan that outlines specific
release dates for work on features, user stories, bug fixes,
enhancements, maintenance, and so on. Essentially, a release
plan sets the number of iterations within a release and which
features are to be developed during that time frame.
