How to use the Ready and done checklists template

Start a board from it
Use this template opens a new Freero board with the Ready and done checklists template on it (sign up free first). On a board you already have, open Templates in the toolbar and search for “Ready and done checklists”.
Follow the instruction on the board
“Write only what the team will really check every time. Review both lists after any item that came back as a bug.”
Fill in each part
- Ready to start What must be true before we pull it in?
- Done What must be true before we call it finished?
- Recent misses Items that slipped through. Which check would have caught them?
Bring your team and your agents
Invite people to the board or share a link, and work on it together live. The timer is in the top bar, private mode and voting in the board menu, and Claude or ChatGPT can join through Freero’s MCP server.

Work on it with an AI agent

Connect an assistant once and it works on the board with you, with your permissions: by default it reads and proposes, and people decide.

You ask: “Fill in the Ready and done checklists board from these notes.”
What happens It reads the board, then proposes sticky notes for it. Nothing changes until someone on the board accepts them.
You ask: “Group what we wrote into themes and list the actions.”
What happens It proposes clusters with a title each and task cards for the actions, labelled with its name and yours.
