Launch a SaaS Checklist

A practical pre-launch checklist for taking a SaaS product from idea to first customers.

1

Define one painful customer problem

2

Write the smallest useful product scope

3

Create a clear landing page

4

Set up analytics and error tracking

5

Add authentication and billing

6

Test the critical user journey

7

Prepare onboarding

8

Set up support and feedback capture

9

Invite a small first cohort

10

Measure activation before scaling acquisition

Use the checklist as a decision tool, not a ritual.

Skip items that do not apply, document assumptions, and measure the outcome of the work you actually do.
