The vision statement workshop is your friend if you are building a new product or service.
What is a vision statement
A vision statement describes the desired long-term results of your product, service or company's efforts. For example, an early Microsoft vision statement was “a computer on every desk and in every home.”
Why use this workshop
I often observed people talking differently of a same product. As if the vision was not really shared, written somehow. So I designed this workshop, used and resused it to:
align people on a common the vision
extract the essence of the value of the product, service, or company
describ the value of the product, service, or company in one short sentence
When you should use it
Use it right after the user research phase (if you follow the HCD stages), when it is time to concretise the vision, the core value of your product or company. It extract what it brings to the table and will allow you to influence the following design choices to meet that vision.

Product Roadmap (Now, Next, Later, Trash)
Works best for:
Planning, Mapping
The Product Roadmap (Now, Next, Later, Trash) template allows teams to organize their product development initiatives into four distinct categories: current priorities, upcoming features, future plans, and discarded ideas. By visualizing the roadmap in this manner, teams can maintain focus on immediate objectives while keeping an eye on future opportunities and managing stakeholder expectations effectively.
Opportunity Canvas Template
Works best for:
Leadership, Decision Making, Strategic Planning
Features and capabilities — they make or break a product, which is why companies spend so much time and effort focusing on them. Sound like you? Try it with an Opportunity Canvas. This streamlined one-pager gives you and your team the power to improve your product by exploring the use cases, potential setbacks, strategies, challenges, and metrics. An Opportunity Canvas is ideal if you’ve already built a product, because you don’t need to consider the operational or revenue model.
BCG Matrix Template
Works best for:
Strategic Planning
Use the BCG matrix template to make informed and strategic decisions about growth opportunities for your business. Assign your portfolio of products to different areas within the matrix (cash cows, dogs, question marks, stars) to prioritize where you should invest your time and money to see the best results.
Epic & Feature Roadmap Planning
Epic & Feature Roadmap Planning template facilitates the breakdown of large-scale initiatives into manageable features and tasks. It helps teams prioritize development efforts based on business impact and strategic objectives. By visualizing the relationship between epics and features, teams can effectively plan releases and ensure alignment with overall project goals and timelines.
Strategy Map Template
Works best for:
Leadership, Strategic Planning, Mapping
How do your individual or team goals relate to an organization’s overall strategy? A Strategy Map is a stylized picture of your organization’s strategy and objectives. It’s powerful because it provides a clear visual guide to how these various elements work together. Strategy Maps can help align various different team goals with the overall strategy and mission. With the Strategy Map in place, teams can create set actionable, relevant KPIs. Strategy mapping is often considered part of the balanced scorecard (BSC) methodology, which is a strategic planning tool for setting overall team goals.
Syllabus Template
Works best for:
Education
A Syllabus is a brief guide to your course, including expectations for your students, readings they will complete throughout the course, and a mission statement or course description. The Syllabus outlines any policies your students should follow during the course, rules and regulations that apply to them, and anything else your students should know. A Syllabus is a valuable tool for orienting your students, and it’s important the syllabus be clear and easy to follow. Use the Syllabus template to streamline the process of creating a simple, intuitive syllabus for your course.
