Level 1 — The internal announcement
Announcing the launch date and motivating your internal team with confidence.
Announce the official product launch date to your team for the first time.
Explain to your team why this product is vital for the company and their future.

Level 3 — Launch day
The official announcement and managing the first hours of audience reaction.
Officially announce the product launch to an audience or via a live stream.
Immediately after the announcement, audience comments (both positive and negative) start coming in, and you must respond quickly.
One hour after the launch, gather your team for a quick update on the initial feedback.
Level 4 — Handling launch-day problems
Handling technical crises and unexpected reactions under real pressure.
Your website crashed due to a massive surge in visitors during the launch. You need to communicate with both your team and the public.

Based on feedback, you must make a quick decision to adjust the marketing campaign message halfway through launch day.
Level 5 — The post-launch review
Presenting results transparently and drawing up an action plan for the next phase.
Present the full launch results (successes and failures) to a tough executive.
Lead a "lessons learned" session with your team after the launch campaign concludes.
Based on the results, plan the next move with management (expansion, adjustment, or a new feature).
