Consider The Following 

  • Is your business model and go to market plan ready to execute?
  • Have you prepared for media outreach for your launch?
  • Have you finalized your logistics plan
  • Did you look at your factory's warehouse? Where are your prod- ucts stored after the production line? Where are your products stored back at the home-port? How is inventory being managed?
  • What process do you have in place to monitor customer demand and build your product to meet that demand?
  • Do you have buffers in place to handle increases in demand?
  • Are you ready with your support strategy? How will customers contact you? Who will handle their questions and feedback?
  • Is your product repairable? What is the warranty? How will you handle a customer if there is an issue with the hardware? Will you replace with a new product and scrap the old product?
  • Have you mapped out your product lifecycle strategy? If your product is successful, it's likely that consumer response will lead to some re-design, and you'll be on to a v2. Start working on your next gen versions before you ship your v1.
