Q2 product launch · 12-week plan

Three phases from research through launch. Design review in week 8 is the critical gate — development doesn't continue until sign-off.

CRITICAL GATE

Design review — week 8

Development begins in week 7 but the full build is contingent on design sign-off. Starting before the gate means dev can fix implementation issues early, not rebuild from scratch post-review.

Discovery ↔ Design overlap

User interviews (W2–W4) overlap with wireframes (W4–W6) by one week. This is intentional — the first round of interview findings feeds directly into iteration without a formal handoff ceremony.

Float in the schedule

Beta testing (W10–W12) has two weeks of overlap with dev end (W11). If dev slips by one week, beta absorbs it. If dev slips two weeks, the launch date moves — there is no buffer beyond that.
