How can the concept of a Kanban board be applied to other industries or disciplines outside of product development?

Some alternative methods to track the progress of product development stages in a GTM plan include using a Gantt chart, which provides a visual timeline for tasks and their completion status. Another method is using a project management tool like Trello or Asana, which allows for task assignment, progress tracking, and collaboration. Additionally, Agile methodologies like Scrum or Kanban can be used to manage and track progress in a more flexible and iterative manner. Regular team meetings and updates can also be effective in tracking progress.

Global companies like Apple or Google can utilize a launch status dashboard in their go-to-market strategy by using it to track the progress of any stage of the product launch, whether that's research, forecast, design, development, marketing, or sales. The dashboard can show overall completion and completion by team, and list individual tasks under each team and their statuses. This can help in managing the product launch effectively and efficiently, ensuring that all tasks are completed on time and any issues are addressed promptly.
