Workflow templates

Release notes draftThe product owner gets draft release notes for one shipped release, in words users recognize: what is new, changed, removed and fixed, the steps users must take, and the known limitations. Only what was supplied is described. The owner checks and publishes.Workflow templateSmallest useful release scopeA product owner or founder with more features than capacity gets one page: what is in the first release and what is deferred, all tied to one user outcome, with the reason for each cut. The owner decides the scope; no effort is estimated beyond what is supplied.Workflow template
