What is Product Strategy?

by Christopher Cureton

Product Strategy is your plan for building the right products — and building the products right.

It defines what you’re creating, who it’s for, and why it matters, serving as the connective tissue between business objectives, customer needs, and brand positioning.

At its best, product strategy informs a clear roadmap, prioritizing initiatives that drive value while aligning with long-term vision. It also sets the design principles that guide how the product looks, feels, and functions — shaping both user experience and brand expression.

For founders, product leaders, and marketers alike, a strong product strategy is more than a document — it’s a decision-making framework. One that aligns teams, reduces rework, and builds strategic clarity into every sprint. When dialed in, it creates leverage across product, marketing, and sales — ensuring every feature launched tells the same strategic story.
