Analytics Delivery CI/CD & Production Handoff Checklist

{"Type":"InteractiveFormDefinition","Title":"Analytics Delivery CI/CD & Production Handoff Checklist","IntroductionHtml":"

This interactive checklist helps teams move analytic code, models, and data products from prototype into production. Use it to record CI/CD gates, validation results, observability plans, operational ownership, rollback steps, and approvals.

Complete each section, provide artifact links, and press Save Handoff. Responses are stored so teams can track readiness, run post-deploy reviews, and reduce surprises after handoff.
