Blueprints v1 is two weeks from GA launch (target: April 2026). The A/B test results confirmed the required-section hypothesis: time-to-approved dropped 40% from 4.0 to 2.4 days [fictional] (p=0.001), and Sandra C. gave the ship decision on April 14, 2026. Rachel V. is assembling the cross-functional launch checklist to coordinate engineering, QA, design, marketing, customer support, legal, and operations for the rollout from 80 closed-beta accounts [fictional] to all 500 enterprise customers [fictional]. The A/B results also showed that the empty-section rate dropped from 38% to 7% [fictional], validating the core enforcement mechanism and giving the team confidence to ship required sections as the default behavior.
Key launch risks include: SAML SSO certification timing, Confluence migration messaging for accounts switching from competitor tools, and ensuring the IT admin provisioning guide is ready before enterprise security teams begin onboarding.
I need a comprehensive launch checklist for Blueprints v1 GA. Here's the context:
**Launch details:**
- Launch name: Blueprints GA
- Target date: April 28, 2026
- Rollout: From 80 closed-beta accounts to all ~500 enterprise customers [fictional]
- Ship decision confirmed by Sandra C. on April 14, 2026
**Key stakeholders:**
- Rachel V. (PM), Karen L. (Eng Lead), Tomás G. (Design Lead), Derek H. (Head of Marketing), Mei-Lin T. (Enterprise Sales Lead), James W. (VP Eng)
**Critical items I'm tracking:**
- SAML SSO certification -- must be complete before GA (enterprise blocker)
- IT admin provisioning guide -- enterprise security teams need this before they'll onboard
- Confluence migration communication plan -- many prospects are switching from Confluence
- A/B test code cleanup -- remove experiment flags, ship required-sections as default
- WebSocket provider scaling -- validated at 80 accounts, need to load test for 500
**Rollback concern:** If a critical bug surfaces in the first 48 hours, we need a clean rollback to the pre-Blueprints state without data loss for accounts that already created Blueprints during GA.
Please generate the full launch checklist with go/no-go criteria and a rollback plan.
Support team trained on Blueprints v1: required sections, approval gates, co-editing, SSO provisioning
Knowledge base articles published: “Getting Started with Blueprints,” “Setting Up Approval Chains,” “Configuring Required Sections,” “Troubleshooting Co-Editing”
IT admin provisioning guide published: SAML SSO setup, role mapping, audit log access
Escalation path documented: Tier 1 (support) then Tier 2 (Karen L.’s team) then Tier 3 (Nate P. for CRDT issues)
Support team has access to a staging environment with Blueprints enabled for troubleshooting
FAQ document covers top 10 anticipated questions from closed-beta feedback
Dedicated Slack channel created for launch-week support escalations
Disable feature flag (blueprints_ga_enabled set to off) via LaunchDarkly. This immediately hides Blueprints UI from all non-beta accounts. Estimated time: 2 minutes.
Preserve existing data: All Blueprints created during GA remain in the database. They are hidden from the UI but not deleted. Authors can access their content once Blueprints is re-enabled.
Notify affected accounts: Trigger a pre-drafted email to accounts that created Blueprints during the GA window explaining the temporary rollback and ETA for restoration. Template pre-loaded in the transactional email system.
Revert WebSocket scaling: Scale down the WebSocket provider to beta-level capacity to reduce cost during the rollback period.
Conduct incident review: Rachel V. convenes a 30-minute sync within 2 hours of rollback to assess root cause and define the re-launch criteria.
Re-enable progressively: Once the root cause is fixed and verified on staging, re-enable the feature flag at 10% and monitor for 4 hours before resuming the full rollout schedule.
