Product Direction Book

We all know that making great products is hard, involving many steps and experts from multiple disciplines. Yet most teams are not paying enough to the activity that makes all further efforts easier and more impactful: setting the right product direction. The absence of clear flows, artifacts, and accountabilities to create it aggravates this pain, resulting in a lack of alignment affecting the product’s success.

Product Direction describes tools and techniques to go through the creation of a Product Strategy, a Strategic Roadmap, and OKRs, taking care of how to navigate the critical links between each of them to achieve success at scale.

Product Direction helps you:

  • Multiply results with increased team alignment and autonomy.
  • Focus on the problems you are solving and reject other distractions.
  • Position and differentiate your product, aligning other areas in the company.
  • Scale teams without losing speed.
  • Grow in your career by increasing your strategic skills.
