A good launch is not luck. It is repeating a process that covers the essentials without bureaucracy.

Minimum viable list

  1. Clear goal and metric
  2. Rollback plan
  3. Monitoring and alerts
  4. Owners per area
  5. Internal and external comms

The more automated the checklist is, the less you rely on memory and the more consistent quality becomes.
