Covers the Product Vision Board for capturing vision, target group, needs, product and business goals, then moves to strategy validation, the GO product roadmap built on goals rather than features, and key performance indicators. Also covers portfolio strategy and the relationship between strategy, roadmap and backlog. Concise and template driven.
