Product Vision

ConceptualProductStrategies

Definition

Product Vision: Product vision describes the future state a product is working toward—the ultimate impact it will have on customers and the market. Vision inspires teams and guides long-term decisions while remaining stable even as tactics change. Good product visions are aspirational, customer-centric, and differentiated.

Example Usage

Our product vision: 'Every knowledge worker finds the information they need in seconds, not hours.' It guides us toward AI-powered search.

Common Misconceptions

Vision is a feature list. Vision describes outcomes and impact, not specific functionality.
Vision changes with strategy. Vision is stable for years; strategy and tactics evolve to achieve it.
Only product leaders need to know the vision. Every team member should understand and connect their work to vision.
