Knowledge base readiness
When to use: Use this before knowledge base readiness goes live, so the team can confirm ownership, timing, and risk.
Goal
Get knowledge base readiness ready without relying on memory, last-minute heroics, or one person's hidden knowledge.
Readiness checklist
- Confirm the owner: owner. One person owns the result, even if several people help.
- Confirm the deadline or launch condition: deadline. Do not use vague timing like soon.
- Review the customer-facing copy for clarity, missing details, and tone.
- Test the happy path from first click or message to completed outcome.
- Test the likely edge case: missing info, angry customer, failed payment, wrong language, or no human available.
- Confirm escalation, rollback, and support coverage before publishing.
- Save the final version in the knowledge base or CRM so the team can find it later.
Done means
A new teammate can follow the process, the customer knows what happens next, and there is a named owner for anything that breaks.
Manager sign-off
Mark this complete only after someone outside the setup work tests it once and confirms the result is understandable.
