Everything you need to launch a working Learning Management System — prioritized by impact, sequenced by complexity. Built for Course creators, training companies, bootcamps, and edutech founders who want to ship fast and own everything.
Not all features are equal. This checklist separates what you must launch with from what can wait — so you ship faster without cutting corners that matter.
Launch blockers — build these first
Drag-and-drop course structure with modules, video lessons, text content, and file attachments
Secure video upload to S3/Cloudinary with HLS streaming and DRM protection
Multiple choice, short answer, and video response questions with instant feedback
Per-student completion rates, time spent, quiz scores, and engagement analytics
High value — ship in week 2
Auto-generate branded PDF certificates when students complete a course
One-time purchase, subscription access, or cohort-based payment tiers
Post-launch polish and extras
This checklist follows the 80/20 rule: the "Must Have" features deliver 80% of the user value with 20% of the total effort. Every item in the must-have column was chosen because it:
Solves the core problem Course creators, training companies, bootcamps, and edutech founders face every day
Creates a complete user loop from onboarding to core action to outcome
Enables you to charge for the product or validate willingness to pay
Gives you meaningful metrics to improve with in v2
Can be shipped in 2–4 weeks with LaraCopilot
"The goal is not to build a perfect product. The goal is to build the minimum product that proves your assumption and earns your first users."
For a Learning Management System, that means shipping authentication, the core data model, one complete user workflow, and a way to collect feedback. Everything else is version 2. LaraCopilot makes this fast.
Use these ready-made prompts to build each must-have feature. Paste them directly into LaraCopilot and get production-ready code.
