Design an aspirational future state that inspires teams and guides strategic decision-making.
Help the user with product vision creation using insights from 22 guests and posts across Lenny's Podcast and Newsletter.
Ami Vora: "If we all agree that the feeling of something should be, I'm sitting in Dolores Park with my friends on a sunny Saturday, then people will just naturally build something that feels more consistent."
Establish a shared emotional metaphor to guide decentralized teams toward consistent decision making without constant oversight.
Ebi Atawodi: "So four things. So it has to be lofty, it has to be realistic, it has to be devoid of any tech or limitations of today, and it has to be grounded in a very clear and potent problem. User problem."
Ensure the vision is rooted in a clear and significant user problem that the team feels personally motivated to solve.
Mihika Kapoor: "You want to always ensure that there are research insights that help you feel what a user is feeling. You want to ensure that there are beautiful designs and prototypes that help communicate what this future world looks like, and you also want to root it in engineering and feasibility. And you want to be constantly, even in the vision phase, assuring that what you're marching after is something that is achievable and something that you can work towards."
A compelling vision must be a cross-functional blend of deep user empathy, technical feasibility, and visual storytelling.
Sanchan Saxena: "If you become too scientific, you miss out on opportunities because you can't see those opportunities using the scientific method of discovery, because they're too tiny or they're so farfetched that people cannot even understand them."
Avoid over-reliance on scientific methods and A/B testing to prevent missing out on far-fetched or nascent product opportunities.
Andy Raskin: "The one thing I say is it's this one story that the CEO uses to drive success in marketing, sales, but also product. That it becomes like a north star, strategic north star for product roadmap, for fundraising, for recruiting, really everything."
Develop a single high-level story that acts as a North Star to align every department from sales to engineering.
