Definition

Product Strategy: Product strategy defines how a product will achieve business objectives and create customer value over time. It connects company vision to product roadmap through clear choices about target customers, problems to solve, and competitive differentiation. Good strategy involves saying 'no' to opportunities that don't fit.

Example Usage

Our product strategy focuses on mid-market companies with 50-500 employees. We say no to enterprise features that would slow us down.

Common Misconceptions

Strategy is a detailed plan. Strategy is a framework for decisions; detailed plans come later.
Roadmap equals strategy. Roadmap is output; strategy is the reasoning behind prioritization choices.
Strategy stays fixed. Review and adjust strategy as you learn from market and customer feedback.
