Often a scrum team decides to implement a feature in a sprint, codes it and sends it to testing. At this stage, the product owner, scrum master, and the team often get a false impression that the feature is almost done and what remains is just testing and releasing it to production. Right?Wrong! Experience has shown that this only the start. The battle is only half won and there are many hurdles to get that feature to the finish line.

Our scrum team went through several sprints where we thought we were ready to release a feature to production but “something” came up towards the end of the sprint and we failed to deliver. We slowly came up with this checklist to ensure that what we had was checked all boxes before we showed the green flag to our product manager.
