A release readiness review is a snapshot that starts aging the moment the meeting ends. Keep release readiness live in Jira against the committed date and its confidence band.

Version 3.0 turns a release into a commitment you manage, attributes every date movement in days, and publishes Release Readiness reports natively to Confluence — without your Jira data leaving Atlassian.
