Google had this, at least around 2010. Product teams would have to get the go-ahead from a bunch of interested parties like legal, security, internationalization, etc. Each of those parties controlled a "launch bit" (literally a checkbox) for each product launch.


Yeah I was there during that time too. Chasing down launchcal bits was really expensive.


It's still the same from what I understand from my Googler friends.
