Planning guidance only. Validate important decisions with customer evidence and your delivery team.

How it works

1

Check test status and open risks

Critical test failures are a hard blocker; open risks reduce the score proportionally.

2

Confirm docs and monitoring

Updated documentation and active monitoring both raise confidence in catching issues early.

3

Confirm rollback readiness

A ready rollback plan is weighted heavily — it's the cheapest insurance against a bad release.

Frequently asked questions

Why does a rollback plan matter so much?

It's the cheapest form of insurance against an unexpected production issue — a release without one turns any surprise into a scramble instead of a quick, calm recovery.

What if critical tests are failing?

That's treated as a hard blocker regardless of other scores — the tool's next step will say not to ship until they pass.

Should every release go through this checklist?

For anything beyond a trivial, easily reversible change, yes — the five factors it checks are exactly where releases most often go wrong.

How is the score calculated?

Test status (weighted highest), open risk count, documentation, monitoring, and rollback readiness each contribute points on a simple transparent scale, summing to 0-100.
