Northstar onboarding refresh — September 1–5 update
Hi product lead and delivery team,
The September 18, 2026 launch target is at risk, but has not moved. We have completed 9 of the 12 planned sprint tasks (75%), compared with 6 of 12 (50%) last week. These are sprint task counts, not a prediction of overall project completion. This week the welcome email copy was approved, the onboarding checklist was implemented, and the analytics event names were agreed.
Two dependencies remain. Mobile QA has 3 open defects; Eli owns fixes and retesting by September 10. Severity and user impact still need assessment. Legal approval of the consent wording is outstanding; Noor expects a response September 9, and launch depends on that approval.
Decision needed: could the product lead approve two additional QA days by September 8? This is proposed staffing, not an approved change. Noor will follow up on September 9, Eli will retest by September 10, and I will share a launch readiness check September 11.
We do not yet have customer outcome measurements, budget figures, or an updated launch commitment.
Maya, project lead
