Go/No-Go
A formal decision point to proceed with or stop a planned launch change or operation based on agreed readiness criteria.
Plain English
Decide whether conditions are good enough to continue now.
In context
A go/no-go review should use explicit evidence owners risks rollback capability and authority rather than momentum or pressure alone.
Example
“The release received a go decision after monitoring and rollback checks passed.”
When you'll hear this
- launch readiness
- migration windows
- high-risk changes
Common misunderstanding
A go decision does not eliminate risk and a no-go is not failure when readiness criteria are not met.
Also known as
go no-gogo or no-go
