Summary#
This checklist is used to verify that documentation and activities are complete before releasing a new version of the product.
As with all regulatory documents, it’s more about the content than about the tool. You don’t have to fill this checklist out every time in Word / GDocs / etc., but could embed it in your Jira / GitHub workflow. The main point is that, at minimum, the items below should be checked (and documented) before you release a new version of your software.
Feel free to add further rows in the checklist if they make sense for your company. This template is pretty much the bare minimum to be 62304-compliant.
