# Content Production Kanban Card

Give one content item a clear outcome, owner, inputs, acceptance criteria, dependencies, reviewers, risk controls, maintenance duty, and next handoff.

## Usage note

Use one card for one independently movable content outcome. Link to source files and decisions instead of turning the card into a second, conflicting document repository.

## How to use this template

1. Define one content outcome, audience, source of truth, owner, priority, and deadline reason.
2. Add readiness inputs and dependencies with named owners, dates, status, and fallback plans.
3. Write observable acceptance criteria and assign reviews according to risk.
4. Update the blocker, next action, version, and handoff fields whenever the card changes stage.
5. Verify the released asset, record limitations, and assign maintenance before closing the card.
