Building your product strategy stack | Ravi Mehta (Tinder, Facebook, Tripadvisor, Outpace)
Product Strategy Stack
AI Key Takeaways
- The goal of the product strategy stack is to help people take a set of terms that are normally conflated together like goals, roadmap, strategy and separate them into really clearly defined parts.
- The product strategy is the connective tissue between what is the company trying to accomplish and what are the dayto-day things that the product team is doing.
- If you're having trouble meeting your goals, it might be because the roadmap isn't set up so that it can help move those goals forward. If the roadmap isn't right, it might be because the product strategy hasn't been really clearly articulated. If the product strategy isn't right, it might be because the team doesn't understand deeply enough what the company strategy is, how the product fits into it, and ultimately the company's mission that is trying to make progress on.
