Lifecycle tells you where a release stands

The Board organizes releases by Idea, In progress, Date locked, Scheduled, Released, and Archived. Executive and Planning can move releases between lifecycle columns, including through the Move to menu.

Readiness tells you what needs attention

Readiness considers required workflow states, deadlines, holds, conflicts, blocking tasks, and freshness of imported observations. A release date or a lifecycle status is not a replacement for those checks.

Investigate an attention indicator

Open an attention indicator in the catalog with a click or keyboard focus. Read its reasons and follow a reason to the relevant release tab. Check the underlying material, phase, or task before changing its state.

Imported values keep their meaning

Unknown source vocabulary remains unknown. The original observation can remain visible until the team assigns a canonical state or an explicit override. An unfamiliar spreadsheet value is not automatically treated as ready.

Example

A release can be Scheduled while a required artwork task is blocked. Keep the lifecycle status that reflects the plan, then resolve or explicitly manage the artwork issue. Changing only the lifecycle column does not perform the missing work.

When an item disappears after a change

A successful status change may put the release outside the current view filters. Clear the lifecycle or property filters before assuming the release was removed.
