Products and software
Product launch
A product launch has one fixed date and a long list of work that must be finished before it. Here the whole launch is one project: the photography, the packaging, the store orders and the launch-week to-dos, each showing what is done and what is still open.
Tools: Message Board, To-dos, Docs & Files, Boards
Software relaunch
A relaunch puts new features, open bugs and a release date in front of one team at the same time. This project holds the weekly updates, four build lists on the progress chart, a bug board, the specs and photos from a field test.
Tools: Message Board, To-dos, Boards, Chat, Docs & Files
New product line
A new product line has to be tested, made in quantity and priced, often while the first orders arrive. This project holds the seasoning tests, workshop photos, the first restaurant order, the launch to-dos and the dates for delivery and sale day.
Tools: Docs & Files, Message Board, To-dos, Calendar, Chat
Mobile app release
An app release has to clear beta testing and App Store review by a set date, and one late feature can hold it up. This project holds the scope on the progress chart, beta bugs on a board, field test photos, build posts and a daily check-in.
Tools: Message Board, To-dos, Boards, Docs & Files, Calendar, Check-ins
Game development
A game needs art, code, sound and design from several people, and all of it has to work in one build that players can test. Here the project holds the demo's scope, a board of bugs and art, playtest results and the team's chat about each new build.
Tools: Docs & Files, Message Board, Boards, To-dos, Chat
Eyewear collection
Before an eyewear collection goes on sale, every frame needs an approved sample, lenses that fit, photographs for the shops and enough stock to fill the orders. This project holds the lookbook selects, photos from the workbench, production, lens and launch to-dos, and each shop's requests.
Tools: Message Board, Docs & Files, To-dos, Chat
Furniture collection
A furniture collection has to be prototyped, tested and priced, often while the first trade orders are already being made. This project holds photos from the patio shoot, the workshop and the finish tests, to-dos for the pieces and the launch, the trade orders and delivery dates.
Tools: Message Board, Docs & Files, To-dos, Boards, Calendar, Chat
Gravel bike launch
A bike launch needs frames built and tested, photographs taken and demo bikes in shops, all before the day orders open. This project holds production, the shop program and launch day as three lists, photos from the frame shop and the test rides, and the build dates.
Tools: Message Board, Docs & Files, To-dos, Calendar, Chat
Knitwear collection
A knitwear collection depends on yarn, samples and knitters, and one short lot of yarn can delay every sweater of one design. This project holds yarn, pattern and launch lists, each knitter's sweaters on a board, photos of the mill and the lookbook shoot, and the pickup dates.
Tools: Message Board, Docs & Files, To-dos, Boards, Calendar
Glassware collection
Hand-blown glass is made one piece at a time, and one bad batch of glass can put a whole order behind. This project holds photos from the hot shop and of the finished pieces, wholesale orders on a board, three to-do lists and the studio's chat.
Tools: Docs & Files, To-dos, Boards, Chat, Message Board
Satellite launch
A small satellite has to pass its tests, get its radio license and reach the launch provider by a fixed date. This project holds the test campaign on a board, clean room and field photos, four to-do lists, the provider's letters and a weekly check-in.
Tools: Message Board, To-dos, Boards, Docs & Files, Chat, Calendar, Check-ins
