Successfully launching a product @ a mid-sized tech company

• The company was launching a new product and needed somebody to manage the overall launch

​

• I was asked to lead the launch despite having no product launch experience

• Lead the product launch and worked with a technical program manager who managed the technical side of the launch

• Asked if there was an existing playbook to launch products -> was told no, so documented steps in the launch so nobody had to "reinvent the wheel" again​

​

• Determined all stakeholders required to launch and set up a meeting cadence to drive accountability and manage risks

​

• Defined what "launch" meant -> press release? Other?

​

• Set a launch date and created a workback plan​

​

• Conducted a pre-mortem to identify and solve problems before they occurred 

​

• Managed the launch

• A highly successful product launch from which I won a company award for

​

• A repeatable playbook for future product launches (that is still used today)​
