Enter your team size and feature count
Larger feature counts add a small buffer to each validation stage.

How it works
Choose your risk tolerance
Cautious gives longer validation windows; aggressive compresses the timeline.

Internal Alpha, Closed Beta, Soft Launch, and General Availability, each with dates.
Review owners and readiness gates
Each stage lists who typically owns it and what must be true before moving on.

Frequently asked questions
What are the four launch stages?
Internal Alpha (your team tests it), Closed Beta (a small group of real target users), Soft Launch (a wider but still limited audience), and General Availability (full public launch).
How are the dates calculated?
Each stage has a base duration that depends on your risk tolerance (cautious tolerances get longer validation windows), plus a small buffer if you have a larger feature count. Stages are scheduled sequentially starting today.
Who gets assigned as owner?
Ownership is assigned by rule based on your team size and the nature of each stage — a solo founder owns everything, while larger teams see engineering, product, and growth roles assigned to the stages that fit them.
What if I already have a fixed launch date?
Use this plan to work backward — if the generated timeline runs past your target date, that is a signal to either narrow scope, add resourcing, or accept a more aggressive risk tolerance.
Can I skip a stage?
You can, but each stage exists to catch a different class of risk. Skipping Closed Beta, for example, means you find usability problems in front of a much larger, less forgiving audience.

Jira and Linear track sprints and issues once a release plan is underway. MVPHub calculates a starting phased plan and timeline from your scope and team inputs; it does not manage ongoing delivery work.
