In his book “Start with Why” , Simon Sinek boldly claims that the ‘Why’ behind your actions matters more than the ‘What’ This principle isn’t limited to leadership or personal motivation; it extends to every facet of the business, including product roadmaps.

Mission and Vision Are your company’s mission and vision well defined? In many organisations, the mission and vision are not clearly defined. And even though the mission and vision are well defined, if your organisation isn’t designed appropriately, your key people won’t be able to embrace them or share them with their team.

Vision statements are aspirational and communicate concisely where the product hopes to go and what it hopes to achieve in the long term.
