Prioritization simulation

The Launch Window

You have one quarter, 18 capacity points, and six good ideas. Build a launch plan that creates meaningful customer value without overloading the team or betting the quarter on weak assumptions.

An original scenario built for this portfolio, not based on any employer's real systems, people, or data.
