The four heights

The same task, four distances: today's deadline, the next reviewer, the stuck moment, the pattern.

Create a template card on the Product board titled Launch Checklist Template, include sections: Objective, Stakeholders, Timeline, Key Deliverables, Acceptance Criteria, and a checklist of 12 steps; save it as a template and make it available to the Product team so Sarah and Amir can instantiate it for Sprint 47.

Improve — make it easier to accept

Before I offer this template to the team, make it easy for a product manager to spot scope and risk: surface the estimated effort in story points up top, mark which steps require procurement or legal, and highlight any fields that must be filled before creating a live card so reviewers don’t have to dig.

Decide — diagnose the stuck moment

I saved the card as a template but people still edit the original instead of using it.

I saved the Launch Checklist as a template, yet Sarah keeps opening and editing the master card instead of creating from the template. I don’t know if she can’t find the template or finds editing faster. How do I diagnose whether this is discoverability or habit, and what immediate change would get the team to use the template correctly starting this sprint?

Become — change the pattern

We spend time fixing bespoke cards because templates aren’t used consistently.

Across releases we lose time because people recreate ad-hoc checklists instead of using templates, causing inconsistent fields and approval delays. What one habit and one tiny change to how templates are organized or taught will get Product to adopt templates and stop bespoke edits?

Every task here came from the work, not from a feature list — which is why the prompts name what you want done and never the button that does it. The tool changes; the work does not.
