"Product Strategy as a Living Document"
summary
60% of PMs want to learn product strategy and strategic behavior scores up to 10x for perceived effectiveness; the recommended approach treats strategy as a living document with four concrete parts: success criteria, a researched current context (use GenAI for data synthesis), two to three big bets that link to company goals, and an initiatives map split into now/next/future (no dates, only validation confidence). Practical metrics: mirror grew ~9x in users and headcount; PVK reports 160 GW added via software last month — use such specific outcomes to justify bets.
