When everyone knows what deadlines you have set for certain tasks it's more likely that these things actually get done. Especially when you are planning a launch that you can't just postpone again and again, set deadlines are crucial for the success of it.
It’s also wise to “budget in” additional time to the timeline – "just in case", or because we know that there have been delays in previous projects and launches. For example if something takes five hours to complete, add another 2-3 hours for testing, down time or sick time. What if you suddenly have an important client to serve and won’t have the same amount of hours a week to work on your project as you thought you would? What if your child needs to go to the doctor and you have to be with her? Or what if your VA gets sick or isn't able to finish a task on time?
If you allow extra time to plan your launch or strategy, it will more likely be more successful - and actually take place when you want.
What has your experience been with product or program launches?
