The Forrester Release Readiness Checklist Template Tool enables product managers to build a checklist that focuses on the components related to the technical release of a product and the elements needed to ensure its proper sale and operation. The tool allows users to define the characteristics they want to use in the checklist, select the number of and name launch tiers and categories, and document acceptance criteria. Users can view charts that show the total count of checklist items and the total number of acceptance criteria met and not met for each component category.
