Generally speaking, product strategy is a plan describing what a business product hopes to accomplish and how. This roadmap of your product development allows you to settle your vision, gather research about your audience and the market, prepare an adequate design, work on it hassle-free, and test the solution. It is a step-by-step journey that covers the whole process of releasing your product.
A solid product strategy helps to translate your idea to future users, gather research that will position your project on the market, and make sure that your business goals are met according to a simple and understandable workflow. Having a well-defined product strategy allows you to plan the release, gather the funds and partners, strategise your product on foreign markets and scale on local ones. Thanks to a thorough product strategy, your team can improve the decision making and understand which tasks to prioritise for the maximum efficiency of the work process.
The main advantage of a well-defined product strategy is that it can be adjusted and applied to every stage of your process. Surely, it would be more beneficial for your project vision if your business plan was prepared before moving on to the development stage. However, since every work process is prone to changes and unexpected adjustments, having an agile product strategy could save you some headaches. At CodeFulcrum, we usually divide our clients’ strategies into specific milestones, so that you could clearly see how we develop your project from step one to the post-release stage.
First of all, you should understand that product strategy is subject to change even in the most rigid projects. Since its primary goal is to help you set the correct SMART goals, a good product strategy has to come prior to any other stage of the development process. Further on, there are many variables that can affect the time it will take to create the first draft of a viable product strategy. Key project elements such as the product itself, your budget, tech requirements, etc. can all affect the time it will take to prepare the roadmap. As a rule, there are defined stages of working on the product strategy. They are:
At CodeFulcrum, we work according to Scrum iterations, meaning that each cycle of work takes between 1 and 2 weeks, depending on the team. If you require assistance solely with the business aspect of a product strategy, you can count on a faster completion of the entire process. However, we recommend trusting our team with the entire product development.
