Release Workspace¶
Purpose¶
Decide whether the release candidate is ready for its approved release posture based on evidence, limitations, risks, and conditions.
This directory should contain the project’s actual working artifacts for this lifecycle area. The links below intentionally point to the Template Library and, where available, the completed LMU/COICP example. Create the real project files in this directory when the project is ready to populate them.

Working pattern¶
- Open the relevant template.
- Create the same-named file in
docs/project-workspace/release/. - Replace template guidance with project-specific evidence.
- Compare the result with the LMU/COICP example when available.
- Record open risks, assumptions, and unresolved questions.
- Finish with the review or readiness artifact for this stage.
Evidence quality bar¶
| Quality | What It Means |
|---|---|
| Specific | Names actual project facts, stakeholders, systems, scenarios, risks, and decisions. |
| Traceable | Connects back to earlier stages and forward to later stages. |
| Reviewable | Gives another reviewer enough evidence to challenge or approve the work. |
| Current | Reflects the project’s actual state rather than old intent. |
| Governable | Makes AI use, exceptions, risks, release posture, and limitations visible. |
