Product Strategy Stack

The product strategy stack is a system that helps people understand what framework they're using in order to make decisions and what's going to drive value for the business. It consists of the company mission, which is the qualitative aspirational statement of the company's purpose; the strategy, which is the logical plan to bring the mission into being; the product strategy, which connects the company's goals to the day-to-day activities of the product team; the roadmap, which is informed by the product strategy and guides the goals; and the goals, which are set based on the roadmap. By working from top to bottom or bottom to top, the product strategy stack helps PMs define and debug their strategy, ensuring alignment with the company's mission and goals.

Episode notes

Ravi was previously CPO at Tinder, Product Director at Facebook, and VP of Product at Tripadvisor. Currently, he’s co-founder and CEO of Outpace, a coaching platform designed to help people reach their professional goals. In today’s podcast, we dive deep into Ravi’s product strategy stack framework and how it was used to develop a powerful strategy at Tinder. We also cover his other popular frameworks—the frontier of understanding and exponential feedback—and how both of them can help you grow in your career. We discuss the differences between building product at a startup versus a large tech company, and how Ravi has had to shift his mindset as he’s moved away from a product leadership role into a founder role. Finally, he shares a bit about how Outpace is using AI to amplify coaches and help make them more efficient and effective.
