The strategy sprint is the core of the strategy process, where the strategy working group selects strategic pillars based on identified problems and opportunities.

The design sprint builds on the strategy sprint, taking the established strategic pillars and aims to produce actionable plans for implementation, while illustrative concepts help bring the strategy document to life, providing a clearer picture of how strategic pillars translate into product concepts and directions.

The strategy working group design lead heads up the design sprint, while others participate, ensuring clear alignment on inputs and outputs throughout the process.

During the document writing step, the product leader should synthesize user insights, competitive analysis, and strategic pillars into a coherent strategy document.

A good strategy articulation includes three components: three to five strategic pillars to focus on, areas to avoid, and clear explanations for these choices.

After conducting user interviews, organize your notes into categories to identify the most pressing problems.

The process of developing a strategy should involve gathering diverse perspectives and identifying key challenges to focus on.

Don't call it a strategy; call it an action agenda. We need to identify the one or two key challenges we can address and outline coherent actions to tackle them.

Managing team energy during strategy development is crucial; pacing sprints, incorporating fun activities, and allowing for down cycles can help maintain morale and productivity.
