Product Vision

The Product Vision is a concise statement or document that describes the ultimate goal of a software product, its target market, and the value proposition to its users.

Purpose

The product vision serves as a guiding star for all product development efforts, ensuring alignment and inspiration. Its key benefits include:

  • To provide direction for the product development team and stakeholders by clearly articulating the product's overarching goals.
  • To inspire and motivate the team by presenting a compelling vision of the product's impact.
  • To facilitate strategic planning by establishing a clear long-term goal around which to align product roadmaps and milestones.
  • To communicate the value proposition to potential users, customers, and investors.
  • To attract and retain talent by showcasing the product's purpose and potential impact.

Format

The Product Vision may be presented as:

  • A single, impactful sentence or a short paragraph.
  • A vision board or visual representation containing key images and phrases.
  • A day-in-the-life narrative that describes how users interact with the product.

Anti-patterns

  • Vagueness: Lacking specificity, making it hard to understand or act upon.
  • Business Focus: Creating a vision that focuses on business goals rather than user needs.
  • Undercommunication: Not adequately sharing or embedding the vision within the team and external stakeholders.
