Editorial draft available to read. Factual and language review is pending. Examples are illustrative.
Decision and scope
A launch checklist should contain verifiable conditions, accountable owners and evidence. Cover the domain, approved content, forms, navigation, language versions, recovery arrangements and ongoing operation. A checked box without an actual observation does not establish that a function is ready for customers to use.
Illustrative example
Illustrative example: the contact test requires a fictional submission, confirmed storage and access to that request by the person who will handle it. Seeing a thank-you screen verifies only one part of the journey. The result records the tested environment, release version and date so it cannot be confused with an earlier demonstration.
Acceptance check
Separate launch requirements from improvements that can wait. Keep unresolved blockers and decisions visible. Accept readiness when essential functions are verified, operational owners understand their responsibilities and publication of the identified version has explicit authorization.
Key takeaways
- Accept readiness when essential functions are verified, operational owners understand their responsibilities and publication of the identified version has explicit authorization.
