Checklists
You can add checklist items to any step in Runway to cover any unique parts of your team's release process.
A step won't be marked as complete (green) in Runway until all checklist items have been completed -- in addition to the normal criteria that would mark a step as completed.
When a checklist item is marked as completed, Runway will keep track of when the status changed, and who updated it.

'Ping pending' actions
When items belonging to a checklist are still pending, you can use the "Ping" action behind the ...
icon for an individual item to send a Slack or Teams message to the checklist item owner, or the “Ping all pending” button in the upper-right corner above the checklist to send messages to all owners of pending items.
Managing checklist items
Each step has a Checklist tab, from which you can view the list of all checklist items, or Add items to the list or Edit the existing list.
Click the Add button to create a new checklist item.
If you click the Edit button, you'll see additional controls to Delete an item, Edit an item's details, or re-order the list. Hit Done when you're finished making changes.

Checklist item components

Release step
Specify which step of the release process this checklist item applies to.
Release types
Specify which types of releases (major, minor, point, hotfix) require this checklist item.
Checklist item
A name for this task. This appears on the checklist itself, as well as notifications related to updates on this item.
Set a target completion time
When creating or editing a checklist item, you can set a target completion date that is relative to the release's kickoff, submission, or release.


Send a reminder if incomplete
Keep this option selected if you want your team to be notified if the target completion date passes and the item is still marked as incomplete. Runway will post in Slack or Teams when the target completion date passes, as well as the owner of the incomplete task.
Send a completion notification
Keep this option selected if you want your team to be notified about updates to this item during a release cycle. Runway will post in Slack or Teams when a task is completed, or was formerly completed but reverted, as well as who performed the change and when.
Additional information
Optional - You can add information here that can easily be surfaced in Runway for team members working on this task. These notes serve as documentation available on every release cycle. Markdown is supported, and there's a built-in viewer.
Owners
Checklist items can specify user groups or individuals as owners – specify a checklist owner if a task is intended to be completed by a specific team member or by a team member from a specific group.
