Go-to-Market Planner Skill

Produce a complete, cross-functional GTM plan that aligns product, marketing, sales, and support around a single launch — with clear owners, timelines, and success metrics.

Launch Tier Framework

Before planning, classify the launch:

Tier Scope Typical Effort Examples
Tier 1 — Major Launch New product / significant platform change 812 weeks New pricing model, platform rebrand, new product line
Tier 2 — Feature Launch Significant new capability 46 weeks Major feature, API release, new integration
Tier 3 — Incremental Release Improvement, bug fix, minor feature 12 weeks UI tweak, performance improvement, small enhancement

Always confirm tier with the user before proceeding.


GTM Plan Output Format

GTM Plan — [Product/Feature Name] — [Launch Date]

Launch Tier: [1 / 2 / 3] Launch Owner (PM): [Name] Target Launch Date: [Date] Soft Launch Date (Beta/Limited): [Date, if applicable]


1. What We're Launching

One-line description: [What it is, for whom, and why now] Key customer problem solved: [Specific pain point] Key differentiator: [Why ours, why now]


2. Target Audience

Primary segment: [Who benefits most — be specific] Secondary segment: [Who else benefits] Not for: [Who this is NOT for — helps sales and support]


3. Messaging

Headline: [Customer-facing headline — lead with outcome, not feature] Sub-headline: [Supporting context — how it works or why it matters] 3 key messages:

  1. [Problem solved]
  2. [How it works / what's new]
  3. [Proof / social proof / data]

Elevator pitch (30 seconds):

[For [target user] who [has this problem], [product/feature] is a [category] that [key benefit]. Unlike [alternative], we [differentiator].]

7. Launch Day Checklist

  • Feature live for [X%] of users
  • Monitoring dashboard active
  • Support team briefed
  • Blog post published
  • Email sent / scheduled
  • Sales team notified
  • Executive announcement sent (if Tier 1)
  • Rollback procedure confirmed

Required Inputs

Ask the user for these if not provided:

  • Product or feature name
  • Target launch date
  • Launch tier (Tier 1 / 2 / 3 — or describe scope and the skill will classify)
  • Target audience (who benefits and who it's NOT for)
  • Key message (what's the headline outcome for the customer)
  • PM and launch owner

Guidelines

  • Never plan a Tier 1 launch without at least 8 weeks of lead time
  • Always include a "Not for" section — it prevents misdirected sales and support tickets
  • Recommend a soft launch to 510% of users before full rollout for any Tier 1 or 2 launch
  • Post-launch retrospective should be scheduled at launch planning time — don't leave it to chance

Quality Checks

  • Launch tier is confirmed and appropriate for scope
  • "Not for" section is included to prevent misdirected sales and support
  • Every function has at least one activity with a named owner and due date
  • Success metrics include a measurement window (30/60/90 days)
  • Rollback procedure is confirmed for Tier 1 and 2 launches
  • Post-launch retrospective is scheduled
