The TMF409 – Release Notes Template is packaged within a single zip file titled TMF409_Release-Notes-Template_V#.zip. This zip file contains 2 documents:

• The first is TMF409_Release-Notes_Template_Instructions_V#-#.doc, (this document) which is the guide or instruction part of the template explaining how and when to use the template. It also contains a document history of changes to the template.
• The second document is TMF409_Release-Notes_Template_V#-#, which is the actual template to be used. This should be populated with the content of the actual Release Notes being produced, and headers/footers/titles/etc should be filled in appropriately.

This template can and should be used to make certain that the needed sections are provided, and that the format conforms to the TM Forum standard.
