"Should I develop our product strategy or vision first?"

🤔

Ideally, we'd develop a compelling vision and then our strategy and team topology would flow from that. This is not what happens in the overwhelming majority of cases I see.

Which to develop first: the vision or the strategy?

If forced to choose, develop the strategy first. Once we develop a compelling vision, we’ll adjust the strategy accordingly in the next quarterly update. And we’ll benefit from the additional clarity in the meantime.

(Thank you to everyone who sent in follow up questions on yesterday's podcast ep on how to build your first product strategy. I’ll address more in coming nudges.)
