Using a launch plan as a template for products large and small could save a lot of time, money, and headaches. This practical report demonstrates how Google devised its production launch plan and provides actionable advice to help your company develop its own.

A launch plan can prevent a wide range of issues by involving all relevant parties and processes to ensure a controlled launch progression.
