Product Strategy Session

This orchestrates positioning workshops, problem framing, customer discovery, and roadmap planning into a single 2-4 week process that takes you from strategic ambiguity to validated direction. It's built as a six-phase workflow with decision gates at each step, so you can branch into additional discovery interviews or solution testing when assumptions are shaky. The workflow leans heavily on component skills like opportunity solution trees, proto-personas, and jobs-to-be-done, stitching them together with facilitation protocols. Use this when launching something new or doing annual planning where exec alignment actually matters. Skip it if your strategy is already clear or you lack the sponsorship to make strategic decisions stick.

Purpose

Guide product managers through a comprehensive product strategy session by orchestrating positioning, problem framing, customer discovery, and roadmap planning skills into a cohesive end-to-end process. Use this to move from vague strategic direction to concrete, validated product strategy with clear positioning, target customers, problem statements, and prioritized roadmap—ensuring alignment across stakeholders before committing to execution.

This is not a one-time workshop—it's a repeatable process for establishing or refreshing product strategy, typically spanning 2-4 weeks with multiple touchpoints.

Input

Works best with: The product (or product line) and the strategic question forcing the session. Also useful: Existing positioning, discovery artifacts, roadmap drafts, and who needs to align on the outcome.

Anything supplied with the invocation itself — text after the skill name, a pasted context dump, or an appended ARGUMENTS: line — counts as answers already given. Use it and skip whatever it covers; don't re-ask.
