A product strategy is your plan for creating the most value possible for your users and your company. And you do this by focusing your time on a small set of really high impact work, rather than diluting your efforts across all the different things you could potentially do.

I recommend teams use three different artifacts to keep track of what they are learning from their customer interviews:
1. The interview snapshot: This artifact summarizes what you learned from a single customer interview. Teams should create an interview snapshot for each interview that they conduct.
2. A comprehensive experience map: This map represents the experience of multiple customers. It’s an amalgamation of all the individual experience maps that appear on your interview snapshots.
3. An [opportunity solution tree](https://www.producttalk.org/opportunity-solution-tree/): This artifact captures any opportunities from across your interview snapshots that are relevant to your current [product outcome](https://www.producttalk.org/2020/05/product-outcomes/).
The Interview Snapshot: How to Synthesize and Share What You Learned From a Single Customer Interview

**A coherent vision**
Today's managers need to have a coherent vision of the work they want to accomplish. Managers of humans need to craft a vision that is articulate, specific, concise, and rooted in a clear purpose. Model managers will need that same ability.
The better articulated your vision is, the more likely the model is going to be to carry it out appropriately. As prompts become more specific and concise, the work done will improve. Language models might not, themselves, need a clear purpose, but model managers will likely have to identify a clear purpose for their *own* sake and engagement with the work.
Articulating a concise, specific, and coherent vision is difficult. It’s a skill that is acquired over years of work. Much of it comes down to developing a taste for ideas and language. Luckily, that’s a place that language models can help as well.
