The product launch plan roadmap is typically managed by the product marketing team to coordinate efforts across different teams. In addition to generating revenue, a launch can build anticipation and market awareness for the product.

A product launch plan is usually a timeline-based roadmap that clearly communicates the deliverables in relation to time. This product launch plan example is organized by the type of initiative. The four categories, represented by swimlanes, are product/service management, branding/marketing, channel management, and sales/post-sales.
