product-strategy-session

Follow the six-phase workflow: positioning and market context, problem framing and validation, solution exploration, prioritization and roadmap planning, stakeholder alignment, and execution planning. Each phase references specific workshop and component skills with durations and participants.

The minimum is two weeks with no discovery or experiments, the typical duration is three weeks including one validation round, and the maximum is four to six weeks when customer interviews and solution experiments are needed.

Skip it when strategy is already clear and validated, when the work is a tactical feature addition with no strategic shift, or when you lack executive sponsorship, since strategy without exec commitment rarely gets resourced.

The workflow uses the prioritization-advisor skill to recommend a framework such as RICE, ICE, or Value/Effort based on your product stage and available data, then scores and ranks epics with engineering and product leadership.

A decision point after problem framing checks validation. If the answer is no, the workflow routes you to discovery-interview-prep to run five to ten customer interviews and iterate the problem statement, adding about one week.
