Answers to common questions about product strategy and strategic planning.
The ideal time to develop a product strategy is before you begin building your product, but it's never too late to create one. For startups, a basic strategy should be in place before developing your MVP to ensure you're building the right thing. For existing products, strategy development is valuable when facing growth challenges, entering new markets, or when your product has evolved without clear direction. The best product strategies evolve over time, so regular strategy reviews and updates are essential regardless of your product's stage.
Business strategy focuses on the overall direction of the company, including market positioning, competitive advantage, and financial goals. Product strategy is more specific, focusing on how your product will deliver value to users while supporting business objectives. A good product strategy aligns with and supports the broader business strategy. For example, if your business strategy involves expanding into new markets, your product strategy would detail how the product will evolve to meet the needs of those new markets. The two should work in harmony, with product decisions supporting business goals.
Product strategy should be reviewed and potentially updated quarterly, with a more comprehensive review annually. However, the frequency depends on your market dynamics and business stage. Fast-moving startups in evolving markets may need more frequent updates, while established products in stable markets might require less frequent revisions. The key is to strike a balance—your strategy should be stable enough to provide consistent direction but flexible enough to adapt to changing market conditions, user feedback, and business priorities. Major shifts in the market, significant user feedback, or changes in business direction should trigger strategy reviews regardless of the regular schedule.
Balancing user needs with business goals is at the heart of effective product strategy. The most successful products create value for users in ways that also generate value for the business. I approach this balance by first deeply understanding both user needs (through research, interviews, and data analysis) and business objectives (through stakeholder alignment and business model analysis). Then, I identify the intersection points where addressing user needs directly contributes to business outcomes. For example, improving a key user workflow might increase retention, which reduces acquisition costs and improves lifetime value. The roadmap prioritization process explicitly weighs both user value and business impact to ensure a balanced approach to product development.
