Product launch

Launch day, without the scramble.

A launch has a hundred small steps and one fixed date; put each step, owner and deadline in one project.

Launch · Board

Step by step

From launch date to launched.

Work back from the date, then let the board and the status summary keep everyone current.

  1. Step 1: Break the launch into steps

    Write the big task, then press Suggest steps. AI proposes three to seven subtasks; untick what you do not want and add the rest.

  2. Step 2: Give every step an owner and a date

    Assign with +name and set dates in quick add. Start dates keep later steps out of Today until it is their turn.

Views to use

Views for launch week.

  • Board

    Every step by stage, with its owner and date on the card.

  • Calendar

    Launch week day by day, with time blocks for the big pieces.

  • List

    Sections and subtasks in order, to check nothing is missing.

Tips

Launches that land on time.

  • Mention a colleague in a comment when a step waits on them; they get a notification.
  • Set P1 on the steps that move the launch date, and save a filter for them.
  • Invite the agency or freelancers as guests to the launch project, at no cost.
  • Next launch, copy this project: sections and open tasks come along, with dates moved to start today.

Questions and answers

Does AI add steps on its own?

No. Suggest steps shows its proposals first; you choose what to add, and Undo takes it all back.

Is AI included in the price?

Yes, in Pro and Team, with a fair-use limit of 100 suggestions per person and day. During the beta everything is free.

Does thisflow have a Gantt chart?

No. Plan a launch with sections, dates and start dates, and see it on the board and in the calendar.

Can people outside the company join?

Yes. Invite them as guests: they edit the launch project and nothing else, and guests take no seat.
