***Where we think Product Strategy Starts and Ends***
Product strategy is positioned between business strategy and execution. Inputs to product strategy include; the organisation's mission, vision, and strategy, along with product insights, market insights, and customer insights.
Outputs from product strategy typically consist of defined objectives and outcomes, success measures, hypotheses, and actionable framing for teams. Downstream from product strategy, one finds roadmaps, requirements documents, and feature specifications. While detailed artefacts may not always accompany product strategy, clear direction is essential for effective implementation.
