The difference between a target release and a sprint
A sprint describes a team’s working period; a release describes a product delivery package. Work for one release can span several sprints.

How to apply it
Use the target release in Taskending to track the intended delivery. Assign sprints according to the team’s execution plan. Review release scope regularly so incomplete or removed items remain visible.
A concrete example
Design for Reporting 1.2 might finish in one sprint and implementation in the next. Both tasks share a target release but belong to different working periods. A release-readiness issue describes the combined result to verify.
What to watch for
Closing a sprint does not automatically publish a release. Merging a GitHub PR does not by itself prove deployment succeeded. Track publication and its verification separately.
How to check the outcome
Compare the scope list with the actual delivery before release. Explain the next plan and customer impact for work that remains outside it.
