product strategy template is designed to guide you through the process of preparing a new <a href=\"https:\/\/www.process.st\/product-strategy\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">product strategy<\/a>, either for an existing product or a new product line.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>The process seeks to guide the team through the necessary steps to pool knowledge and expertise in order to produce the most effective strategy.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>The end goal of this process is a report which clearly outlines the product strategy and sets out clear steps for putting this strategy in place.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>It is important to iterate and improve your strategy during the creation phase and as part of an ongoing effort to maximize its effectiveness.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>This template is split into the following sections:<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>Preparatory research tasks<\/li>\n<li>Writing and structuring the document<\/li>\n<li>Improving the document through revisions<\/li>\n<li>Formulating a way to implement the strategy<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>Throughout this process, you can use features like <a href=\"https:\/\/www.process.st\/help\/docs\/task-assignments\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">task assignments<\/a> to delegate responsibility for individual tasks to those who may perform those duties best.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>There are <a href=\"https:\/\/www.process.st\/help\/docs\/form-fields\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">form fields<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.process.st\/help\/docs\/forms-widget\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">widgets<\/a> within the tasks in order to share information and keep important information stored within this master process.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Utilizing form fields, assignments, and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.process.st\/help\/docs\/dynamic-due-dates\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">dynamic due dates<\/a> for tasks will allow this process to run smoothly and facilitate a well-formulated strategy.<\/p>\n<p>To get started, add this template to your <a href=\"https:\/\/www.process.st\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Process Street<\/a> account, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.process.st\/help\/docs\/editing-templates\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">edit the template<\/a> as needed, and then <a
