Everything left to do to put the complete web online.
Five workstreams over roughly fourteen weeks. Most of it is standard launch work — but two items are net-new product builds, and they sit on the critical path. Track progress below; it saves to this browser.
The roadmap, by week.
Bars show each workstream's span. Outlined bars and red milestones mark the critical path — the chain that actually gates go-live.
Estimates are indicative for planning — sequence is firmer than the absolute durations.
Every activity, tracked.
Tick items as they land. Progress persists in this browser so you can come back to it.

The chain that actually gates go-live.
The marketing pages can ship early. What you can't fake is the partner approval flow and the portal it unlocks — those are real authenticated product, not page design. Scope the portal as its own project and start it in week one; everything else can flow around it.
