Product Readiness is a key concept in Product Management and Operations that refers to the state of a product or service when it is fully prepared for launch or release to the market. It encompasses various aspects that ensure a product is adequately delivered to meet customer needs, fulfill business objectives, and ensure sustainability over its lifecycle.

Product readiness typically involves a comprehensive set of activities, including product development, quality assurance testing, documentation, and stakeholder communication. This process involves acquiring necessary permissions, approvals, and external certifications if required by regulatory agencies or industry standards. The defined product readiness criteria include successful test and validation phases.

The criteria for product readiness vary across organizations and industry verticals. While common criteria may include conformance to agreed-on technical specifications, between finalization of required regulatory approvals, some businesses may also consider specific internal product governance milestones.

Product readiness represents a checkpoint in product lifecycle management where required key stakeholders have agreed that all necessary criteria are met, or made minimal amends, to initiate post-pilot deployments. Generating and maintaining documentation that supports the product's history, test planning, and compliance evidence, enable businesses to swiftly refer to the invaluable history of product-milestones and accessibility formats.

Achieving product readiness is critical for a business, since it signifies a readiness statement from the manufacturer or information-technology group with their performance warranty and plays a timely indicative supporting role in consolidated grouped product-delivery achievements.
