🧭 MOVE IN THE RIGHT DIRECTION, by aligning strategies
Does your product strategy support your organization's strategy? This isn't just about crafting a standalone product strategy—it's about aligning it to deliver on the organization's objectives within the organization's constraints. Share your product strategy early and often with your team, stakeholders, and customers to ensure alignment and adaptability.
