Half-Day Bulletproof Launch Planning
Launch dates slipping or quality dropping? Identify hidden risks and create a robust go-to-market plan that survives reality.
About this session
Launch dates often slip when teams overlook hidden dependencies or underestimate technical friction until the final weeks. This session forces the group to stress-test their assumptions against realistic setbacks and build a go-to-market timeline that accounts for actual operational constraints.
Why it works
The structure disrupts optimism bias by requiring participants to proactively identify failure points before committing to a timeline. It shifts the discussion from idealistic milestones to concrete risk mitigation, ensuring the final plan is based on collective scrutiny rather than a best-case scenario.
