Product strategy: focus vs prioritization

What's the difference?

Focus is cutting. Prioritization is ranking.

A list of 20 priority projects might be ranked. It is not focused.

Planning cycles are kicking off right now, so this is timely.

Do a quick gut check: which 2-3 things out of the longer list would be game changers if they worked?

Cut the rest (for now, anyway).

Congratulations: you now have the makings of a real product strategy.
