Why Use a Release checklist?
This checklist helps you bring consistency to your releases by following the same reliable steps across teams and projects. It reduces confusion, avoids duplication, and keeps everyone on the same page.
It also brings clarity to your release planning. With a clear view of your scope, dependencies, and potential risks, you're better prepared before deployment even begins.
And most importantly, it helps you move forward with fewer blockers. When roles, tasks, and details are clear, your team can avoid last-minute delays and release with more confidence.
