You can **plan a new course launch with a shared checklist** by listing every task needed — content, instructors, pricing, marketing, enrollment setup, first class — assigning an owner and deadline to each one and tracking progress in a single project.

In **Jestor**, the launch is a project with phases, tasks and a **Gantt** view that everyone involved can see.

## Why do course launches slip?

Launching a course involves the academic team, marketing, finance and the secretary. Each group keeps its own list.

Important steps fall between teams: the price is not set, the enrollment form is not ready or instructors are not confirmed when marketing starts.

## What problems does a shared launch checklist solve?

- Tasks forgotten between teams
- Marketing starting before the course is ready
- Unclear owners for each step
- Launch dates postponed without warning
- No reusable process for the next launch

## How do I plan a course launch in Jestor?

1. **Create a launch project** with phases: Design, Setup, Marketing, Enrollment, Kickoff.
2. **Add tasks** with owners, deadlines and subtasks.
3. **Show the timeline** on a Gantt view.
4. **Use a checklist** for the go-live criteria.
5. **Save the project as a model** for future launches.

| Phase      | Typical tasks              | Owner                   |
| ---------- | -------------------------- | ----------------------- |
| Design     | Syllabus and materials     | Academic team           |
| Setup      | Price, schedule, rooms     | Coordinator and finance |
| Marketing  | Campaigns and landing page | Marketing               |
| Enrollment | Forms and pipeline         | Secretary               |
| Kickoff    | First class ready          | Instructor              |

## How does a reusable model help?

After the first launch, the checklist becomes a tested process.

The next course starts from that model, with known tasks and realistic deadlines, which makes process automation easier to add over time.
