Website launch blocker tracker

Website launch blocker tracker for agencies that need risk visible before launch day

A launch blocker is not just another open task. It is an issue that can stop go-live unless the agency knows the owner, reason, impact, and next action.

01

Clients flag blockers from the request they cannot complete.

02

Agencies see blocked, overdue, unassigned, and high-risk work together.

03

Risk reasons explain why the project needs attention.

04

Next client action and suggested next agency action make follow-up practical.

Launch signal

Blockers should change the launch readiness signal.

Shipperly separates blocked work from normal open tasks and keeps blocker reasons tied to the request, owner, launch impact, and recommended follow-up.

What Shipperly tracks

Built for the client-side work that decides go-live.

Feature 01 - Client signal

Let clients explain what is stuck.

When a client cannot finish a request, they can flag a blocker and add the reason instead of leaving the agency to infer risk from silence.

  • Blocker reason attached to the original request
  • Request status changes to blocked
  • Agency notification and review path
Feature 02 - Agency triage

Review blockers alongside overdue and unassigned work.

A blocked task is one launch signal. Agencies also need to know what is overdue, unassigned, high impact, or waiting for final approval.

  • Blocked request count
  • Overdue request count
  • Unassigned client-owned count
Feature 03 - Readiness

Connect blockers to the go-live decision.

Blockers affect launch readiness because they clarify whether launch can proceed, needs escalation, or requires an accepted exception.

  • Risk reasons tied to launch impact
  • Next client action for the owner
  • Suggested next agency action for follow-up
Comparison

Why blocker tracking beats a generic open-task list

Open tasks show work remains. Blocker tracking shows what can still stop or weaken launch.

Shipperly

Blocked, overdue, and unassigned work hides inside a long checklist.

Shipperly surfaces blocker reasons, overdue requests, and unassigned client-owned work as readiness signals.

The agency guesses why the client has not responded.

Clients can flag that they are stuck and explain what they need to move forward.

Follow-up is another vague reminder.

Risk reasons and next actions help the agency send specific blocker follow-up.

FAQ

Questions agencies ask before switching.

What is a website launch blocker tracker?

A website launch blocker tracker helps agencies identify client-owned or agency-owned issues that can stop go-live, capture blocker reasons, assign ownership, and decide the next action.

How do blockers affect launch readiness?

Blockers lower launch readiness because they signal unresolved work that can prevent a safe, accurate, approved launch unless resolved or accepted as an exception.

Can clients create blockers?

Clients can flag that they are stuck on a request and explain why. Agencies then review and resolve the blocker by changing the request status when the issue is handled.

Is every open task a blocker?

No. A blocker is an open issue that should stop or delay launch. Lower-risk polish or post-launch work should be tracked separately.

Know what is ready before go-live.

Shipperly helps agencies track blocked requests, overdue requests, risk reasons, next client actions, and suggested next agency actions before go-live.
