It coordinates across engineering, QA, design, marketing, support, legal, and operations to prevent launch-day surprises. Good launch checklists surface blockers early and create shared accountability for launch readiness.\n\n## When to Use\n\n- 1-2 weeks before any significant launch\n- During launch planning kickoff meetings\n- When coordinating cross-functional releases\n- Before major version releases or feature rollouts\n- After incidents to improve launch processes\n\n## Instructions\n\nWhen asked to create a launch checklist, follow these steps:\n\n1. **Define Launch Context**\n   Document what is launching, when, and who the key stakeholders are. Establish the launch tier (major release, minor feature, experiment) as this affects checklist scope.\n\n2. **Gather Functional Requirements**\n   For each function (engineering, QA, marketing, etc.), identify what must be complete, verified, or in place before launch. Distinguish between blockers (must-have) and nice-to-haves.\n\n3. **Assign Owners and Dates**\n   Every checklist item needs an owner and a target completion date. Ownership creates accountability; dates enable tracking.\n\n4. **Identify Dependencies and Blockers**\n   Flag items that block other work or are blocked by external factors. Surface these early so teams can unblock.\n\n5. **Define Go/No-Go Criteria**\n   Establish clear criteria for making the launch decision. What conditions must be met? Who makes the final call?\n\n6. **Document Rollback Plan**\n   Every launch should have a rollback strategy. Document how to revert if critical issues emerge post-launch.\n\n7. **Schedule Check-in Cadence**\n   Establish when the team will review checklist progress (daily standups, T-2 days review, launch day sync).\n\n## Output Format\n\nUse the template in `references/TEMPLATE.md` to structure the output.\n\n## Quality Checklist\n\nBefore finalizing, verify:\n\n- [ ] All functional areas are represented\n- [ ] Every item has an owner and target date\n- [ ] Blockers are clearly distinguished from nice-to-haves\n- [ ] Go/No-Go criteria are specific and measurable\n- [ ] Rollback plan is documented and tested\n- [ ] Check-in cadence is scheduled\n\n## Examples\n\nSee `references/EXAMPLE.md` for a completed example.","tags":["deliver","launch","checklist","skills","product-on-purpose","agent-skills","ai-skills","claude-code","claude-desktop","openskills","product-management","skill-families"],"capabilities":["skill","source-product-on-purpose","skill-deliver-launch-checklist","topic-agent-skills","topic-ai-skills","topic-claude-code","topic-claude-desktop","topic-openskills","topic-product-management","topic-skill-families","topic-triple-diamond"],"categories":["pm-skills"],"synonyms":[],"warnings":[],"endpointUrl":"https://skills.sh/product-on-purpose/pm-skills/deliver-launch-checklist","protocol":"skill","transport":"skills-sh","auth":{"type":"none","details":{"cli":"npx
