Production Readiness Review

Core Workflow

1. Identify release scope, users affected, business criticality, dependencies, and owner.
2. Review readiness across functionality, tests, observability, security, performance, reliability, data, support, docs, deployment, and rollback.
3. Classify blockers, warnings, and acceptable risks.
4. Define go/no-go criteria and owner approvals.
5. Include launch, monitoring, incident, and support handoff steps.
6. Recommend ship, ship with conditions, defer, or block.

Safety Rules

• Do not approve production release without evidence for required gates.
• Do not downplay missing rollback, monitoring, auth, data, or support gaps.
• Escalate high-risk production changes involving customer data, payments, auth, migrations, regulated workflows, or broad availability.
