HubSpot is preparing a 16-week launch of a new AI-assisted sales workflow inside its mid-market CRM product. The feature spans lead scoring, task recommendations, and manager reporting, and is expected to support a Q4 revenue target tied to 120 pilot customers. You are the program manager overseeing execution across product, engineering, design, data, and go-to-market.
The VP of Product wants a predictable roadmap and weekly status visibility. The Engineering Director prefers lightweight processes and is resisting adding new planning overhead during a critical build cycle. The Head of Sales Enablement needs a firm pilot date for customer training, while Legal requires review of customer-facing AI explanations before launch.
The team includes 10 engineers, 2 designers, 1 data scientist, 1 product manager, and you. The project has a remaining execution budget of $95,000 for tooling, vendor support, and pilot operations. The launch date is fixed for 16 weeks from now, with a pilot readiness checkpoint in week 10. Two engineering teams currently use different tools: one tracks work in Jira, the other in Asana, and leadership reporting is done manually in spreadsheets. No additional headcount is approved.
