## When to Use
- Launching surveys, betas, or listening tours that require multi-team approvals.
- Routing insights to product, CS, marketing, and exec stakeholders with clear accountability.
- Ensuring follow-up communications and governance rituals stay on track.

## Framework
1. **Stakeholder Map** – list involved teams, decision rights, and expectations per stage.
2. **Approval Workflow** – define checkpoints (brief sign-off, launch approval, readout review) with timelines.
3. **Communication Plan** – specify audiences, channels, frequency, and owners for updates.
4. **Action Tracking** – set up shared trackers with status, blockers, and success metrics.
5. **Governance Rituals** – outline cadences (weekly syncs, monthly reviews) plus escalation paths.

## Templates
- RACI chart for research + activation workflows.
- Approval checklist with required artifacts (brief, QA results, comms plan).
- Meeting agenda + notes template to keep stakeholders aligned.

## Tips
- Keep stakeholder rosters fresh; note backups for vacations or org changes.
- Automate reminders linked to due dates via project/workflow tools.
- Pair with `insight-synthesis` outputs to ensure narrative consistency.

How this skill works

The skill inspects program requirements and generates a stakeholder map, approval workflow, communication plan, action tracker, and governance cadence. It produces RACI charts, approval checklists, and meeting agendas tailored to launches, surveys, betas, or listening tours. It can also suggest automation points for reminders and link outputs to insight synthesis artifacts to maintain narrative consistency.

  • Launching surveys, betas, or customer listening tours that need multi-team approvals
  • Routing findings and recommendations to product, CS, marketing, and exec stakeholders with clear accountability
  • Coordinating readouts, launch approvals, and post-project follow-up actions
  • Setting up recurring governance rituals or escalation paths for feedback-driven initiatives

Best practices

  • Maintain a living stakeholder map with backups for vacations and org changes
