Project template
A feature launch plan that carries a build from product sign-off through tech design, QA, gradual rollout, and retrospective, so nothing is missed on the way to shipping.
Overview
Shipping a new feature well is a sequence of gates, not a single event. A launch plan makes those gates explicit - specification, design review, implementation, quality, rollout, and cleanup - so the team always knows what has to be true before the next step.
This template is the built-in Feature Launch starter project in Atlas. It arrives with the milestones a mature engineering team expects and a RAID log seeded with the risks that most often derail a launch.
Because it is a live Atlas project, the plan is not a document that goes stale. Tasks roll up into progress, milestones show as a timeline, and the retrospective closes the loop with a record you can reuse next time.
What is included
Ordered checkpoints from product sign-off and tech design review through implementation, QA, dogfood, gradual rollout, full rollout, and retrospective.
Each milestone states what must be true to advance, so the launch cannot skip quality or accessibility.
Risks, assumptions, and decisions common to a launch, such as performance at full traffic and locale edge cases, ready to adapt.
Dedicated milestones for a five percent ramp and a full rollout so exposure is controlled and monitored.
Run the plan as a list, board, or timeline, with progress rolling into projects and dashboards automatically.
How to use it
Create a new project at /projects and apply the Feature Launch starter template to load the milestones and RAID log.
Keep the launch sequence and edit target dates and exit gates to match the scope of your feature.
Add tasks under each milestone with owners and due dates so responsibility and timing are clear.
Move work through the rollout stages, then complete the retrospective milestone to capture learnings.
