Before you kick off, the clients needs to buy into the benefits of early launches and needs to embrace the drive for a minimal product that delivers the required experience.

It’s possible it’ll take a couple of design and dev cycles to bring you to a release where you and the client are confident the experience is complete from the user’s perspective. The drive here is to be emperical and let users tell you whether the experience is “baked”.

The most important features should drive the site’s experience. Hence, I would always push for including these in the earliest possible launch.

Hypothetical question for you -- how do you know when to launch? Most of the big brands aren't willing (scratch that...would need to be powerfully convinced...) to launch a site that could be construed as half-baked. Have you considered setting a benchmark or guidelines around this? And what has been your experience with prioritization. Do you set a limit and say we'll get whatever's most important that we can launch in say, 6 weeks? Or do you push out the most important features first, even if they take longer?
