Using this template will create a new list with all the items shown above. You can rename the list, and optionally add due dates counted from a start date you choose.

Who this plan is for

This is the full-scope version — 26 tasks covering research, positioning, build coordination, marketing, and post-launch review. It suits a team launching something that matters commercially: a new product line, a major version, a market entry. If you're shipping a feature update, the shorter Product Launch Timeline will fit better without leaving gaps.

Working through it

The sequence front-loads the decisions that are expensive to reverse. Market research and competitive analysis come first because pricing, positioning, and channel choices all depend on them, and every one of those gets harder to change once collateral is printed and salespeople are trained.

The middle stretch runs marketing and readiness in parallel — creative production alongside support documentation, sales enablement alongside distribution setup. These genuinely are concurrent, so don't read the list order as strict sequence. Do read it as dependency order: nothing downstream should start before its upstream input is settled.

Give yourself eight to twelve weeks for a launch of this size. Compressing it usually means skipping the beta feedback loop, which is the step that catches the problems worth catching.

The step most teams skip

Post-launch review. Once a product ships, attention moves to the next thing and nobody writes down what the launch actually taught them — which channels converted, where the messaging landed, what the support queue filled up with. That review is what makes the next launch cheaper, and it takes an afternoon.

Add due dates if you're coordinating people who need to know when their piece is expected. For a solo launch, the plain checklist is usually enough.
