Product Vision Workshop

A startup is a human institution designed to create a new product or service under conditions of extreme uncertainty​ - Eric Ries

Primary Components​

Product Vision

​How a defined customer will benefit from your product when it is fully realised. This should relate to a company's mission, vision and values. This answers WHY you are investing in a product. This is the North Star of your product. ​

Themes​

What are the problems we are solving for the customer? What does the customer need or want. This should not be feature-driven​.

Objectives

How do we support the business’s strategy? How will the business benefit from the success of the product and how will measure progress and success? ​

Prioritisation

​What should we do? When should we do this: Now, Next, Later​.

Build Measure Learn – mitigating uncertainty and validated learning​
