A SaaS release notes template with a review gate
· 7 min read
Most SaaS teams do not lack a release notes template. They lack a gate: a point in the release process where someone accountable checks that the notes are true, specific, written for the reader and published on time. Without the gate, the template decays into a list of ticket titles within a quarter. This post gives you both: a template we use, and a review gate that runs in the same pull request flow as the code.
