Market summary
Remote work is more popular
than ever, and companies are
thinking about tools that create
effective communication
across teams.
Market trends will continue
rising based on projections,
which provides an opportunity
for greater business reach in
the region.
Our product cost is low, which
gives us a market advantage.

customers like we do

products that only partially resolves their issue
Financials
Millennials account for about a quarter of the $48
billion spent on other products in 2018
Costs
Loss of productivity costing consumers thousands
of dollars
Usability
Customers want something that is easy to use

Risks and rewards
Risks
New feature updates
may not be popular with
customers
Lack of staffing in key
roles could delay product
launch
Product will have more
features which may
require additional
learning for customers
Rewards
First on the market
Good publicity for the
product so far, and we
can build momentum
from that scenario
Product testing with high-
value clients have shown
no issues
20XX Contoso business plan 12
Key issues
Near term
Need funding in key
roles
Lack of staffing will
cause product delay
Long term
Need larger office
space
Additional employees
will require on-site
office workspace
