Outsourced Website Launch Runbook and Approval Record
A launch runbook gives an external web team a clear preparation checklist while keeping final approval with the company.
Record release scope, branch or build identity, backup, access owners, DNS or hosting steps, redirect map, forms, analytics, accessibility checks, and rollback conditions.
Operating model
Use a rehearsal where possible. Test the release candidate, record evidence, and make the approval decision from the same checklist. Keep launch communications concise and linked to the authoritative record.
After release, verify the agreed acceptance tasks and capture exceptions. Do not close the work from a deployment message alone.
Review record
A useful record names the owner, scope, evidence, acceptance condition, and next action. Keep the record with the route or component change so a later reviewer can understand the decision without reopening every conversation.
Use small, repeatable checks and preserve failed as well as passed results. This makes the work easier to compare across pages and gives the company a reliable basis for approval.
