How Can I Plan a New Course Launch With a Shared Checklist?
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?
- Create a launch project with phases: Design, Setup, Marketing, Enrollment, Kickoff.
- Add tasks with owners, deadlines and subtasks.
- Show the timeline on a Gantt view.
- Use a checklist for the go-live criteria.

| 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.
