Essential knowledge

Changed on:

Overview

The Ready for Launch process (RFL) is an engagement with the Fluent Commerce Expert Services team throughout the lifecycle of a Fluent project. The process is initiated at the beginning of a Fluent Commerce project and completed with the go-live of the project in production.

The final review ("RFL Launch Gate") should be planned for 3-4 weeks before the desired Go-Live event to receive the approval to move into production.

Key points

  • The Kickoff stage covers the introduction to the Ready for Launch process and the initial project & solution overview.
  • The Design Review stage covers a detailed presentation of the solution by the partner and the review of the implementation by Fluent Commerce.
  • The Launch Gate stage covers the presentation of the final solution and performance test results as well as the confirmation of the desired launch date. After a final review, Fluent Commerce provides the production go-live approval.
