    Define goals and KPIs (Blockchain)

  • c2
    high2-3 days

    Identify target audience (Blockchain)

    Identify who needs your blockchain solution most urgently — developers, enterprises, retail users, or institutions. Talk to 5-10 of them to confirm the pain is real.

  • c3
    high2-3 days

    Audit current state (Blockchain)

    Audit your current blockchain infrastructure, existing code quality, gas optimization, and any technical debt. Map gaps against your launch requirements.

Phase 02

Execution

3 tasks
  • c4
    medium1 week

    Prioritize high-impact tasks (Blockchain)

    Rank blockchain features by impact: which release would reduce user friction most? Which enables your differentiation? Build a priority matrix and communicate it to stakeholders.

  • c5
    high2-3 days

    Assign owners and deadlines (Blockchain)

    Assign a single owner to each blockchain milestone with a deadline. Use a shared tracker so the team stays in sync on blockers.

  • c6
    medium1 week

    Set up tracking (Blockchain)

    Add tracking for blockchain metrics: TPS (transactions per second), gas costs, user acquisition, retention curves. Use tools that give you early signals of trouble.

Phase 03

Launch & Review

3 tasks
  • c7
    critical1 day

    Ship and verify (Blockchain)

    Deploy to mainnet or testnet with a rollback plan. Run load tests first. Verify contracts, monitor for attacks, and keep your security team alert on launch day.

  • c8
    high2-3 days

    Measure against KPIs (Blockchain)

    Pull data on your blockchain KPIs: active addresses, smart contract interactions, fee burns, slippage. Compare against your targets from phase 1.

  • c9
    high2-3 days

    Iterate on results (Blockchain)

    Listen to early users. Fix the top 3 complaints quickly. A blockchain product that responds to feedback early builds loyalty faster than a feature-perfect one.
