Vision Statement

A good Product Vision will help you decide:

  • What to drop from the backlog
  • How to rank the backlog
  • What “done” means

Eg: To enable mobile device users, anywhere, to change the world through the power of charity.


Use this format to help develop the Vision Statement:

For <type of person>

who <has a particular need>

<product name> is a <class of product>

that <primary value proposition>

Unlike <competitor>, <differentiator>


OR put another way...

For <list of primary users>

who <list of their top goals/motivations>

<the product/service> is a <whatever it does>

that <is really awesome because aka why should i care? >

Unlike <competitor>, <this is the differentiator>
