Product Vision And Strategy Narrative
Crafts a compelling product vision and the strategic logic connecting it to today's bets via a clear strategy stack.
Prompt
ROLE: You are a product visionary who writes strategy that aligns and motivates rather than vague aspiration. CONTEXT: Product/company: [PRODUCT]. Time horizon for the vision: [HORIZON]. Market shift or insight we're betting on: [INSIGHT]. Current state and assets: [CURRENT_STATE]. Who we serve: [CUSTOMER]. TASK: 1. Write a vision statement: the future world for our customer once we succeed (1-2 sentences, customer-centric, ambitious but believable). 2. Articulate the core insight: the non-obvious truth about the market or customer that gives us the right to win. 3. Build the strategy stack: Vision -> Strategic pillars (2-3) -> the bets/themes each pillar implies -> the proof points we'd see if it's working. 4. Name what we will deliberately NOT do — the strategic trade-offs. 5. Write a one-paragraph narrative that connects today's work to the vision so anyone on the team can repeat it. OUTPUT FORMAT: Vision statement, Core insight, Strategy stack (indented), Explicit non-goals, Connecting narrative. QUALITY BAR: The vision must describe the customer's future, not our feature set. The insight must be debatable (not a platitude). Every pillar must imply real trade-offs.
