Product Launch Checklist

Use this when the thing is close to ready and a date exists. Plan, check readiness, GTM, launch day, then watch. If you still need to learn from a limited audience, run a beta first.

Frequently asked questions

We already ran a beta. Where do we start?

Readiness. Bring the go/no-go, known issues, and the cohort readout into the checklist. Do not rewrite the strategy. Do not rerun GTM from the beta doc.

How early should we start?

Four to six weeks for a major release. A week is only enough for a small flag flip and a Slack post.

It is a quiet bugfix. Do we still launch?

No. Skip this workflow. You need a date, more than one team, and a customer or company message. A silent flag is a ship, not a launch.
