Mission vs Vision Defined

  • The company mission defines why we exist, a lasting purpose guiding us broadly.
  • The product vision specifies what we will do within a set timeframe to fulfill that mission.

Vision Absence Leads to Chaos

  • Not having a product vision leads to reactive, incremental work lacking inspiration.
  • A vision unifies efforts, inspires, and guides purposeful decision-making across teams.

Who Owns Product Vision?

  • The product vision must be owned and ensured by the most senior product leader like the CPO.
  • Collaborate with key stakeholders including CEO and CTO; the CEO often uses the vision the most.
