This process requires company-wide collaboration and may also include working with multiple vendors. Keeping track of the entire process to ensure a successful launch can be daunting. ## Solution Use Milestones PM+ to create Salesforce Projects for each business unit, then group those Projects with a Product Launch Program. At the Program level, the Gantt chart in Salesforce will show the health and timeline for each team’s Project allowing cross functional collaboration and planning. ![Product launch management with free Salesforce project app Milestones PM+](https://www.passagetechnology.com/hubfs/Imported_Blog_Media/img-44.png) Product launch management with Milestones PM+ Gantt chart Customize the Program to include any important analytics and add report charts that will give upper management or key stakeholders a clear picture of how the launch is progressing. ### Tips - [Lookup Helper](http://sforce.co/2DU74a9) can automatically relate Projects to any other Salesforce record such as Cases or Work Items. - [Rollup Helper](https://sforce.co/2sJywmX) will allow the aggregation of Project Data. - Product Marketing Manager/Marketing Team may want items in a Project such as: - Market Research - Competitive Analysis - Sales Enablement - Market Intelligence - Demand Generation - The Research and Development team may need items such as: - Design - Prototype Build - Prototype Testing - Evaluation - Design Iteration - Taking advantage of Chatter on Projects, Milestones or Tasks will provide a vehicle for quick and easy cross functional collaboration. - Create templates from those Projects for future use to automatically create new Projects for the next new product launch. - Interested in using Stage-Gate® methodology?
