B2b Saas Product Launch

B2B SaaS product and feature launch planner. Use this skill whenever the user wants to plan, coordinate, or execute a product launch, feature release, or go-to-market for a new capability. Trigger for phrases like "product launch", "feature launch", "launch plan", "GTM plan", "go-to-market", "we're shipping X", "launch checklist", "how do we announce this", "launch messaging", "sales enablement for launch", "announcing a new product", or any request to plan the marketing and coordination needed to release something new.

Product Launch Planner — B2B SaaS

Purpose: Coordinate a successful launch so sales knows what to say, customers know why it matters, and the market hears the right message.

Step 1: Gather Context

• What's launching: Feature, product, major update, or new product?
• Launch tier:
  • Tier 1: Major product / new category — full launch motion
  • Tier 2: Significant feature — targeted launch + sales enablement
  • Tier 3: Minor release — changelog + customer email
• Audience: New buyers, existing customers, or both?
• Timeline: Hard launch date?

Step 2: Launch Positioning

What it is:
What it does (one verb + outcome):
Who it's for (persona + use case):
Why now (what changed):
Why only us:
The "so what" in buyer language:

BEFORE: "[How customers dealt with this before]"
AFTER:  "[What's now possible — specific, concrete]"
