To keep morale high and motivation strong during the stress of a product launch, I focus on clear communication and realistic goal-setting. I break tasks into manageable pieces, ensuring that the team sees progress and celebrates small wins along the way. Offering support, recognizing individual and team efforts, and providing breaks to recharge helps reduce stress. I maintain open communication, encouraging the team to share concerns or challenges.

Firstly I would like to break the product into components so each team member can participate and contribute in their respective area of expertise.
