Beta Program Design

Process

Step 1: Define Beta Scope

Element	Details
Feature/product	What's being tested
Beta type	Closed (invite) / Open / Public preview
Duration	Typical 2-6 weeks
Participants	Target count (10-50 for closed, more for open)
Goals	What you want to learn

Step 2: Select Participants

Criteria	Priority
Represents target persona	Must
Active product user	Should
Willing to provide feedback	Must
Diverse use cases	Should
Technical sophistication matches product	Should

Step 3: Set Up Feedback Collection

Channel	Purpose	Cadence
In-app feedback	Bug reports, feature requests	Continuous
Survey	Structured assessment	Weekly or end-of-beta
Interview	Deep qualitative insight	5-8 participants
Usage analytics	Behavioral data	Continuous
Community/forum	Peer discussion	Continuous

Step 4: Manage Bug Triage

Severity	Response	Action
Blocker	4 hours	Hotfix or workaround
Critical	24 hours	Fix in next beta build
Major	48 hours	Fix before GA
Minor	1 week	Backlog for GA or post-GA

Step 5: Define Graduation Criteria

Criterion	Threshold
No blocker/critical bugs	0 open
User satisfaction	NPS > X or CSAT > X/5
Core workflow completion	> 90% can complete key tasks
Performance	Meets SLA targets
Documentation	Complete and reviewed

Step 6: Transition to GA

Thank beta participants (recognition, early access, swag)
Communicate changes made based on feedback
Archive beta feedback for future reference
Update documentation with beta learnings

Output Format

## Beta Program: [Feature]
### Scope: [What, duration, participant count]
### Selection: [Criteria and recruitment plan]
### Feedback: [Collection methods]
### Graduation: [Criteria for GA readiness]

Quality Checklist

Beta goals clearly defined
Participant selection criteria documented
Feedback channels set up before launch
Bug triage process established
Graduation criteria are specific and measurable

Edge Cases

For enterprise beta, involve customer success in recruitment
If beta reveals major issues, plan for extended beta
For public beta, prepare for support volume
