The Countdown Dilemma: The Impact of Product Launch Countdowns on Core Teams

14
Hi Community👋🏻 Today I’m here with a different topic. Share your valuable insights into whether these countdowns occurs a sense of oneness and hype or stress in your core team. As the marketing team at Contentrain, we're hyping about the upcoming release of Contentrain 2.0. However, in contrast, our development team is experiencing a of bit stress for the deadline. 🥶 In this case, we're curious about your thoughts. What do you think? It should be hyping us or we feel more stressing us.🧐

I think that countdowns can result into a sense of oneness, because we all have the same goal, after all :)

@etjecode You're right actually. I didn't think in this way but I guess all of us here for the same reasons. For learning, adding different perspectives to ourselves. ✅ Thanks for responding 😊

I think deadlines are always creates stress. When deadlines came to an end, hype started.

@notcan Maybe it can. But as you said, when the period is over, a different and exciting story begins.🥳

@ako61142833 As you said, the product launching process is a harmonization of all of these. Again, as you said, if we take them in a balance, they will contribute to us.⚖️

It seems to me that in the beginning there is always stress, but then there is hype.

@iren_ivashchinenko I think you're right.✅ But often good things bring us happiness with great stress and effort.

Stress and hype are the eternal companions of a startup, it just so happened. 😀

I am always pro-countdown, especially when you don't already have a large customer base that will build hype for you. Unfortunately, it does come with a cost like stress so I suggest giving the dev team as much support as they need.

@heleana Yes, you are right. As a marketing-based intern, I always try to think about their perspective and try to understand them.😇
Ideally, it should be a feeling of hope. Something to look forward/up to. But to do that, planning, communication, and every other related thing need to be on point and in sync along with a realistic deadline.

@senthil99nathan You summarized all of the things that core teams should care about the topic, in your sentences. That's why, thanks for this responding😊
