with David Daniels

When a launch is arguably the most important initiative your company will do this year, who do you have in charge of the launch?

What you need is a Product Launch Owner.

Establishing Launch Goals

Posted by Michele Egan at 2009-09-04 06:20 PM
Who do you envision establishing the launch goals? Whenever I ask... no one seems to know who should be in charge of them. We do not document/define them well today so I want to get added as a step of our process

The Launch Owner

Posted by Michele Egan at 2009-09-04 06:20 PM
We typically have the product manager act as the launch owner but the requirements for that role do not necessarily include the skills you mention here. Do you think finding a separate person (outside product mgmt group) who has these launch owner skills and can manage efforts for more than one product line?
