1. Define clear examples of your focus areas

A focus area is a particular viewpoint that groups certain requirements set out by an organization. A recommendation from the Cascade team would be to create 4-5 key focus area which you feel are most important to address when creating your Product Strategy. The next step would be to ask yourself: Why is this focus area important to me? What is the benefit of focusing on this viewpoint from a customer's perspective? And, of course, What is the monetary benefit of investing in such a focus area? This process is useful in identifying the key area which needs prioritization which in turn can become focus areas of the strategy.

For example, the focus areas in this Product Strategy Template are: Customer acquisition; Customer retention; and Product development.

2. Think about the objectives that could fall under that focus area

A strategic objective usually has to be specific and measurable to cause enough impact and effectively explain what you want to achieve.

An example objective that could fall under the focus area of Product development could be: Launch 2 new products per year.

3. Set yourself measurable targets (KPIs) to tackle the objective

A KPI is a key performance indicator that is measurable and evaluates the success rate of an organization in relation to the task at hand. KPIs can be very industry-specific or broad and applicable across multiple industries.

An example of a KPI in this Product Strategy Template associated to the objective Launch 2 new products per year could be: Increase sales revenue from new products to 20%.

4. Implement related projects to achieve the set KPIs

Projects are ways in which the objective can be achieved, but more so, closely tie in with ways in which organizations can make sure they are working towards their KPIs.

A project example for the objective Launch 2 new products per year could be: Conduct market research and prototype testing.
