What this implementation checklist is for
Use this checklist to turn a large software rollout into a sequence of decisions your team can own and verify. The goal is not to check boxes quickly. The goal is to make sure every dependency has an owner, evidence, and a clear definition of ready before the project moves forward.
This is broader than a go-live runbook. The implementation checklist starts before configuration and stays active after launch; the runbook coordinates the short cutover window once the system, data, and people are ready.
- Keep project scope, owners, dependencies, and readiness decisions in one shared view.
- Catch missing data, workflow, integration, or training work before it becomes a launch-day problem.
- Give leadership a practical way to review progress without managing every configuration detail.
