How do you approach an environment where there has been no formal launch process and make sure you get the buy-in from engineering and product management?
This is especially a problem in smaller, owner-led companies who don't realize they need product marketing and/or an official launch process. Thanks!

I actually don't have much experience with this, I'm sorry! I wonder if you should just start rolling out / following a lightweight launch process to show-not-tell how it can help? I'm getting an error that my answer is to short so I am typing more but again, I haven't really experienced pushback on having a launch process in the past.
