As a product manager for a social media app, you want to create a platform that allows users to connect with friends and family in a more engaging way. You use the Product Strategy Canvas to define your product vision, target market, value proposition, key metrics, and hypotheses. Based on this, you develop a product roadmap that outlines your goals, initiatives, features, and timelines. You communicate your product strategy and roadmap to your team and stakeholders and iterate on it as needed based on feedback from users, data, and insights. By aligning your product strategy and roadmap with your product vision, you can ensure that everyone on your team is working towards the same goal.
