Product Launch Roadmap: The Key to Managing Multiple Launches That Balances Timing and Resources
Launch Readiness
Resource Page
Launch readiness is the collection of activities to prepare an company to market, sell, deliver, implement, and support a product whether it is new or an enhanced version.
The lack of launch readiness is often a root cause of an ineffective launch. When some parts of a company are ready (or they claim to be) and others are not, this is when there is a lack of launch readiness.
A major consideration in preparing for launch readiness is to recognize that while deliverables are critical -- like sales presentations, pricing lists, and marketing collateral -- they don't ensure that a functional area is launch ready.
