Product lifecycle · 14 stages Fictional sample
A garment lives across 14 accountable stages.
This is the live lifecycle of the Northline Relaxed Hoodie. Each stage carries status, readiness, blocker and the exact next action — no more spreadsheets to track who owns what.
What is this?
A structured 14-stage timeline that replaces fragmented spreadsheets, emails and slack threads.
Why it matters
Owners and production managers see at a glance where a garment is, what is blocking it, and what to do next.
