The product vision and product value discovery are like two sides of the same coin throughout a product’s entire lifecycle. By working in tandem, they ensure the product fulfills its purpose of delivering significant value.
Product Vision:
- The “Why”: The product vision serves as the guiding principle, outlining the product’s ultimate purpose and the positive impact it aims to create.
- Constant Reference Point: Throughout all stages, from initial ideation to post-launch iterations, the vision statement reminds the team of the core value the product is striving to deliver.
Its Connection Across the Product Lifecycle:
- Ideation & Research: The vision statement helps guide initial brainstorming and research efforts. It focuses the team on solutions that align with the product’s core purpose, not just random ideas.
- Prototyping & Testing: Prototypes and user testing feedback loop can lead to adjustments in the vision if needed.
- Development & Launch: The vision keeps the development team focused on building features that contribute to achieving the product’s ultimate goal. It ensures they don’t get sidetracked by extraneous functionalities.
- Growth & Improvement: Post-launch, user feedback and data analysis (part of value discovery) can reveal areas for improvement. This can lead to further iterations that bring the product closer to fulfilling its vision.
