Product Launch Ops: The Role of Operations in Product Launches
Marketing creates the campaign, Product creates the item. But who ensures stock arrived, sales team was trained, and support has the FAQ? Launch Ops is Go-to-Market orchestration. Without it, the launch is loud, but delivery fails.
The Launch Checklist
A launch isn't a date; it's a weeks-long process.
- T-30 days: Support Training.
- T-15 days: Stock in DCs.
- T-0 days: System switch flip.
