Executive readiness summary using red/yellow/green status 2. Workstream checklist for technical setup, data, process, training, support, communications, and governance 3. Owner, due date, dependency, and status columns for each checklist item 4. Go/no-go criteria for launch day 5. Risk register with mitigation plans 6.

Example Output
# Enterprise Implementation Readiness — Northstar Logistics
Executive Summary
**Overall status:** Yellow. Core configuration is complete, but SSO testing and manager training must finish before go-live on June 12.
Readiness Checklist
| Workstream | Item | Owner | Due | Status | Dependency |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Technical | Confirm SSO login for pilot users | IT Admin | Jun 3 | Yellow | IdP metadata |
| Data | Validate account import sample | CS Ops | Jun 4 | Green | CSV export |
| Training | Run manager enablement session | Customer Champion | Jun 7 | Red | Final workflow demo |
| Support | Publish internal escalation path | Support Lead | Jun 9 | Yellow | Launch room staffing |
Go/No-Go Criteria
- 95% of pilot users can log in successfully
- Critical integrations pass end-to-end test cases
- Executive sponsor approves launch communication
- Support owns documented severity levels and response times
Launch-Week Escalation
Create a shared Slack/Teams launch room with customer admin, implementation lead, support manager, and engineering on-call. Review blockers twice daily for the first 3 business days.
Tips for Best Results
- 💡Include real stakeholders and owners so the checklist becomes actionable instead of generic.
- 💡Separate technical readiness from adoption readiness; both can block launch.
- 💡Define go/no-go criteria before launch week to avoid emotional last-minute decisions.
- 💡Ask for a red/yellow/green executive version when leadership needs a concise status readout.
