Product Strategy
Product strategy is the discipline of choosing what the product should solve, who it should serve, and what it should not do.
Connected Notes
Core Idea
- A product is not a list of features.
- A product is a sequence of choices.
- Good strategy makes the product easier to understand, adopt, and scale.
What I Learned
- The best products solve a narrow problem very well first.
- Platform thinking matters only after the wedge is clear.
- A product strategy needs feedback loops from real users.
- Product and operations are connected: poor onboarding can destroy a good product.
Company Patterns
- Mad streat den shows platform thinking: data, intelligence, workflow execution.
- Anthropic shows that trust and safety can be part of the product promise.
- OpenAI shows that research can become usable product and API layers.
- CookieYes shows that clear utility and trust can be a strong product moat.
