Product Launches
This templateโs main project, โProduct Launchโ, is the main hub for the three stages of a launch represented by folders: โPre-launchโ, โProduct Launchโ, and โPost-launchโ.
Pre-launch
Within the pre-launch folder of this template, you can prepare your team for creating all the necessary content with ease and clarity, including resources such as FAQs and user guides.ย
The folder includes essential steps like identifying launch goals, assembling strategy, researching, and others. The default view is Board view where you can easily drag and drop tasks to change their statuses as planning progresses.
Product launch
The product launch folder of this template helps guide you and your team through each task youโll need to complete your new product launch.ย
Wrikeโs functionality lets you carry out each step of the process with transparency. Set a final go/no-go meeting for the launch, and then launch, distribute, and release your product. The tasks here help you coordinate the production and release of launch day materials like marketing content and promotions.ย
Post-launch
Wrikeโs launch plan template outlines some important steps youโll need to make sure your post-launch goes as smoothly as possible. You can monitor customer issues and track and resolve user-identified bugs, and capture lessons learned and how to improve the next product launch.ย
Aside from these three folders representing the stages of a product launch, this template also comes with a dashboard located in the tools section. This dashboard will help you with tracking tasks in different stages: due this week, overdue, completed, or unassigned.

What I really appreciated is the blog; How to Plan the Perfect Product Launch With Wrike.
Especially the section on,ย 5 effective product launch tips. We go through a similar process during our go-lives, but will share some of these tips so we can review our process and incorporate anything we can learn.
Thanks for the template and advice.
Good summary of the topic. Not for us at the oment but you can pick out some things for a user specific process.
Not one we would use.ย
Great to see these templates!ย I think this would be very useful for standardizing how we launch Wrike into new teams as well!
This would be a great tool for our Manager of IT Business Solutions or our Director of IT Application Development and Solutions. I will pass them on. We do have a current process of testing, implementation and maintenance but this may give them additional ideas. Thanks!
Kevin Thalacker I think our blog team does an amazing job with different guides; that's why we've decided to share more blog articles here on the Community too ๐
Thanks, everyone! ๐

Not applicable to our team, but I can see how it'd be useful for product launches! โ
We won't use a product launch template but I can definitely see this modified for other uses in our Marketing Team.
Thanks for the template. This appears to be more for marketing, but there are pieces in there that could be helpful. However, this would not be something my team would use as it's not what we do currently.
Might be something we can use during the post-launch of our projects. Thanks for sharing the template.ย
Thanks for sharing - I will keep this in mind for our next product launch!
Thanks for your comments, folks ๐ค
