Frequently Asked Questions
Who has the authority to make the Go/No-Go decision?
The executive launch sponsor (typically VP of Product or CPO) conducts the meeting with VP of Engineering, Head of Marketing, and Head of Support.
How long should a private beta last?
Typically 4 to 8 weeks depending on product complexity, allowing sufficient time for telemetry capture and critical bug resolution.
How do engineering and product teams ensure technical readiness gates align with public marketing launch dates?
By enforcing a hard code freeze and staged canary rollout (T-14 to T-3 days) before any external press releases or customer onboarding campaigns go live.
