Product Development Time Line

This is the third step in the planning sequence that I discussed in my post yesterday.

The event we are planning this launch for is the Events Listed social networking website launch. Since the event is effectively a product launch with the product being the website, the product development phase becomes very crucial to a successful and timely launch. The event Launch plan must be built around the product development timeline.

The product development in this case must become our working clock that ticks away with everything else being built around it. If you are finding ways of applying these principles to your event launch, the best comparison would be that of launching the opening of a new venue. The launch plan must be plotted around the venue building development plan (or else there won’t be any launch party!)

If you’re interested, here is what our development timeline looked like.

  • I'm still trying to wrap my head around some concept that seem so easy on the surface as many of these skills and methods are transferrable. An event = a product launch = a website. I can see how developing a timeline and an outline would be the foundation for either an event, a launch or a site. In the end it all seems to mash up, doesn't it
  • Having lived through the build of a very complex software platform the last 3 years ($7m later....), I can share my observation that this was an amazing timeline and you have accomplished much with EventsListed during the build.

    The interesting thing about software, websites, platforms, portals, is that they are never done! Looking back at www.archive.org at the waybackmachine lets you see how far your favorite websites have come in the last 10-12 years.

    Nothing stays constant!

    Thanks for sharing the product development timeline. It really is helpful to have this timeline laid out so that someone can have a successful and timely launch.

    Your book "Social Traffic" is full of great tested concepts on using Social Media and checklists and tools to help launch a site and product development. Thanks Simon!
