Production Readiness Checklist

In plain words

Confirm that a workflow is secure, supportable, observable, and owned before production use.

This document is for teams preparing to release a proven workflow. It is designed to help someone make a clear decision, not to create unnecessary process.

What you need

• Accepted pilot results
• Production architecture
• Support owner

What to do

• Verify controls and recovery.
• Verify monitoring and ownership.
• Approve or block release with evidence.

What good looks like

• The intended outcome is written in plain language.
• One person owns the decision and the next action.
• Inputs, exclusions, and data boundaries are explicit.
• Evidence is reviewed before the work expands.

What this does not promise

This document does not guarantee a business result, replace legal or regulatory advice, or approve production use. Final scope, controls, and acceptance criteria must reflect the actual organization and workflow.

Update notes

When updating this document, change the front-matter date, name the owner, and record any product, policy, or evidence dependency that changed.
