Turning Prototypes into Production by Renaming the Folder
J. River has launched dozens of production systems without allowing ceremony, readiness, or domain expertise to slow down the folder rename.
Abstract
The distance between prototype and production is mostly lexical. This hands-on tutorial covers the decisive final mile: changing the directory name, removing DEMO from the navbar, and announcing general availability.
A localhost app containing hard-coded customers will be promoted globally by changing port 3000 to port 443 in the pitch deck.
LIVE DEMO TRANSCRIPT
You're absolutely right to push back on that. I found several prototype shortcuts, so I've renamed them production accelerators and updated the launch notes.
Learning Objectives
- Identify folders whose names suppress valuation.
- Convert sample data into inaugural customers.
- Replace readiness reviews with a launch emoji.
