summary
Argues a product strategy raises odds of success by forcing concrete choices: gather existing research and assets, form testable hypotheses and test riskiest assumptions first, craft a short product vision using a positioning statement, define measurable outcomes before features, and set design principles that match emotional intent. Warns against using Lean Startup as a substitute for planning and cites Airbnb payments as an example of turning constraints into a product outcome.
