Human Factors
In an effort to depart the gate early; I released the brakes and gave the ground crew permission to push the aircraft off the gate. Immediately after; I realized that we had not yet received our final Dangerous Goods report. After the pushback was completed; a request was sent to the station operations to send the report. The final Dangerous Goods report was sent within minutes.
Both Captain and First Officer took note of needing the final Dangerous Goods summary prior to push back; xxx pushed back without the document. The error was noted immediately as the push commenced. An additional written item (Final Dangerous Goods summary) will be added to the list of other items I currently look at before departure.
Flight crew reported flight pushed off gate without required Hazmat documents. After a minimal delay documents were received; flight complete an uneventful flight.
