Planning a full album, or how to inject excel into every part of life

I shared my project tracker in the Discord and got some cool responses. I'm very interested in what kind of planning you folks have done ahead of full album releases.
I don't have an order or deadlines for accomplishing any of this, though I could go full on GANTT chart on this
I figure I'll get the recording and mix to 90%, then I'll ship project files to actual professionals for final mix and mastering. Then what? I have good leads into management/booking/publishing. Is there anything else I should be considering big picture-wise right now? Yeah, I'll change a few song titles, so I don't have three that start with "Don't." Seven of these are Songfight titles! I plan on getting the tracklist up to 20, and then culling down to 12. I probably need to start considering album flow and variety, as I have a lot of four-on-the-floor train beat tunes.
What lessons have y'all learned from your album releases?
