Customer Lifecycle Phase 8 Kickoff

Customer Lifecycle Phase 8 Kickoff

The customer lifecycle Phase 8 kickoff is the R7.15 readiness packet for starting Phase 8 execution. It consumes the R7.14 Phase 8 backlog and verifies that owner refs, kickoff sections, first sprint work, readiness gates, and communication controls are ready without exposing customer-private material.
