What’s still standing between us and launch?

The date is public. Testing is still underway and support is waiting for instructions. Map the timing in GGyess, assign each deliverable and record who will make the final decision.

Step by step

Work backward from release day

  1. Write the release scope and readiness criteria in the brief.

  2. Assign tasks for testing, release notes and customer communications.

  3. Review outstanding checks before the go-live decision.

In day-to-day work

Check before you promise a date

Gantt lays out activities along a timeline. Look for overlapping dates before you promise the team another delivery.

Break down a larger task

Put quick checks on the main task. If a piece of work needs its own status, make it a subtask so people can follow its progress.

A decision you can find again

Put a change request or decision in a task comment. The next person to open the task can read what was agreed before starting the revision.

Before you start

A few good questions.

Where do we record a go-live decision?

Create a task for the final launch review. Include the checks the team needs to complete and ask the decision maker to record the outcome in a comment.

What information makes the timeline useful?

Meaningful start and due dates give each activity a time span that you can compare with nearby work.
