Readiness

An item is Ready when no open task blocks it.

An item is Ready when no open task (to do or in progress) is linked to it as blocking. Every task type counts: design, build, decision, QA, launch and other.

Some items have extra rules:

  • Release — also waits for every solution in it to be Ready.
  • Quarter — also waits for every solution in it to be Ready.
  • Discovery — "Ready to conclude" also needs every research question answered and a decision recorded.
  • Product — shows the share of live, draft and unreleased features that are Ready.

The readiness pill says how many things are still in the way, for example "2 blockers · 1 open task · 1 solution not ready". Click it to see them.

Release complete %

(Ready solutions + done release tasks) ÷ (solutions + release tasks). A release is at risk when it's overdue, or 14 days or fewer away and under 50% complete.

Tasks linked as references never affect readiness. See Blocking vs linked tasks.
