Product Strategy Canvas Template

### 1. Vision

• How can we inspire people?
• What are we aspiring to achieve?
• What values do we uphold?

### 2. Market Segments

• Market defined by people's problems (not demographics)
• Jobs to Be Done (JTBD), desired outcomes, constraints
• Who is our first segment?
• Why this segment first?

### 3. Relative Costs

• Do we optimize for low cost (like Southwest Airlines)?
• Or do we emphasize unique value (like Starbucks)?
• What's our cost position relative to competitors?

### 4. Value Proposition

For each target segment:

• **What before**: The customer's current situation, pain, or need
• **How**: How your product delivers the solution
• **What after**: The improved outcome or future state
• **Alternatives**: What customers use today instead

### 5. Trade-offs

• What will we NOT do?
• What features or markets are out of scope?
• How does saying "no" create focus and amplify our value?

### 6. Key Metrics

• **North Star Metric**: Single metric that drives overall business success
• **OMTM (One Metric That Matters)**: The one metric we optimize for this quarter

### 7. Growth

• Sales-Led Growth or Product-Led Growth?
• Primary acquisition channels
• How do we scale?
• What's our unit economics?

### 8. Capabilities

• What competencies and resources do we need?
• What do we build vs. partner for?
• What capabilities must we develop to win?

### 9. Can't/Won't

• Why can't competitors easily copy this?
• What defensibility do we have (network effects, switching costs, IP)?
• What barriers to entry exist for new competitors?
