Product Launch Essentials
15th Anniversary
 


Is your launch plan just a checklist of deliverables?

Even good products can fail due to organizational issues, misunderstanding of roles and responsibilities or lack of a strategic approach to guide the launch.


Product Launch Essentials teaches how to plan and execute a successful product launch grounded in company goals, sales readiness and cross-functional team alignment.

Special introductory price of $695 US (regularly $995) ends December 23, 2009.

ProductCamps

ProductCamps are a great opportunity to learn from, teach to, and network with, professionals involved in Product Management, Marketing and Development in a local area. All for FREE!

At ProductCamp there are no "attendees", everyone participates in some manner: presenting, leading a roundtable discussion, sharing their experiences, helping with logistics, securing sponsorship, setting up wi-fi, or volunteering. For more, read ProductCamp Best Practices.
