Recommendation

Do you understand what planning and executing a product development strategy truly entails? In this helpful article, product development expert Vince Law works to clarify the concept of “strategic thinking.” Law explains strategy’s importance and offers a practical framework that contextualizes and defines strategy within the overall product development timeline. Law also offers general and specific examples of the framework and thus, strategic thinking, in action. getAbstract recommends this article to project leaders looking to better understand how to develop and execute strategy. 

Take-Aways

  • Strategic thinking helps product development and execution proceed smoothly.
  • Before developing a strategy, clearly define the problem and articulate in general terms how you plan to fix the issue. 
  • Develop the overall guidelines – the strategy – that will shape your project’s development. These rules may change as new information or obstacles present themselves.
