Launch Readiness Skill

Purpose

Ensure nothing falls through the cracks before launch by systematically checking readiness across every function — and producing a clear, evidenced go/no-go recommendation.

Readiness Checklist by Function

Product & Engineering

• Feature complete against launch spec
• Performance benchmarks met
• Accessibility standards checked
• Edge cases documented and handled
• Rollback plan defined

Marketing & Comms

• Launch messaging approved
• Blog post / press release drafted
• Social content prepared
• Email campaigns scheduled
• Landing page live and tested

Support & Success

• Support team trained on new feature
• FAQ and help docs published
• Escalation path defined for launch issues
• Customer success briefed (if enterprise)

Sales & Partnerships

• Sales enablement materials ready
• Pricing confirmed and communicated
• Partner comms sent (if applicable)

Data & Analytics

• Tracking events implemented and verified
• Launch metrics dashboard live
• Baseline metrics captured pre-launch

Process

1. Review provided launch brief and checklist responses
2. Flag any incomplete items as blockers (must fix) or risks (monitor)
3. Assess overall readiness and produce go/no-go recommendation with rationale
4. If no-go, specify exactly what must be completed and by when
