FreeVerified credential2 weeksIntermediate

Overview

What this challenge is about.

Build a 6-week SaaS launch plan with WBS, Gantt chart, RACI matrix, risk register, and KPI dashboard. Earn your verifiable certificate.

The scenario

Launching a SaaS product requires orchestrating work across engineering, design, marketing, sales, and customer success teams. Many startups fail not because of poor products but because of poor launch execution: missed deadlines, unclear ownership, scope creep, and inadequate go-to-market preparation. A structured project management approach — combining agile delivery with launch readiness frameworks — can significantly improve the odds of a successful launch. A Vienna-based startup is preparing to launch a B2B expense management SaaS targeting SMEs in the DACH region. The product is in late beta with 15 pilot customers. The founding team of 12 people needs a comprehensive launch plan that coordinates a public launch in 8 weeks, including product readiness, marketing campaigns, sales enablement, and customer support setup.

Canonical roles

Project Manager
Complex work rarely fails because one person dropped the ball. It fails because a dozen small dependencies were never tracked and a critical path was never named. Project managers exist to prevent that. The role is part planner, part diplomat, part organizational memory — building schedules with critical path methods, controlling scope when stakeholders ask for more, and running the meetings that turn ambiguity into decisions. Students often discover an aptitude for project management through organizing student groups, internships, or volunteer work where someone had to hold the thread. Growing into the craft means pairing rigor with empathy for the team doing the work. The strongest project managers make their team feel calmer, not more anxious.
