Project Background
At Notion, you are the program manager for a 10-week launch of a new analytics dashboard for enterprise workspace admins. The product is technically on track, but adoption in the pilot has been mixed: power users love the detail, while several customer admins say the dashboard is too complex and does not clearly show ROI. The COO has asked for a go/no-go recommendation at next Friday's executive review.
Key Stakeholders
The Head of Product wants to launch on time to support a committed Q3 enterprise pipeline. The VP of Sales wants a simple story that account teams can use with non-technical buyers. The Engineering Manager wants to avoid cutting critical reliability work just to hit the date. Customer Success wants the dashboard positioned carefully because 6 pilot customers reported confusion during onboarding.
Constraints
- Timeline: 7 calendar days until executive review; 3 weeks until planned launch
- Team: 1 PM, 1 TPM, 6 engineers, 1 designer, 1 data analyst, 2 customer success managers
- Budget: $40,000 remaining for launch enablement and customer education
- Dependencies: final usage data from 18 pilot accounts arrives in 48 hours; legal review of customer-facing claims takes 5 business days
- Requirement: the presentation must be understandable to non-technical executives and sales leaders in 15 minutes
Complications
- Pilot data shows a 22% increase in weekly admin engagement, but only for 7 of 18 accounts; the rest show flat usage.
- A senior sales leader has already told two strategic customers the feature will launch globally this month.
- Engineering has identified one medium-severity performance issue that affects large enterprise workspaces.
Your Task
Produce the following:
- A concise executive communication plan for presenting the pilot data to a non-technical audience.
- A launch recommendation (launch, phased launch, or delay) with explicit trade-offs.
- A 3-week execution plan covering stakeholder alignment, customer messaging, and launch readiness.
- Success criteria for the first 30 days after launch.
- Top risks, mitigations, and a fallback plan if executives reject your recommendation.
