Disconnected Planning

Strategic objectives sit in quarterly presentations while your team works on unaligned initiatives. The connection between 'why' and 'what' is lost.

🎲

Guesswork Prioritization

Without clear frameworks, teams debate endlessly about which opportunities to pursue. Every idea seems equally importantβ€”or equally uncertain.

πŸ“‰

No Feedback Loop

You ship features but never learn if they moved the needle on your strategic goals. Experiments run in isolation, insights never flow back up.

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

How is this different from a roadmap tool?

+

Strategy Board focuses on the 'why' and 'what if'β€”your roadmap handles the 'when' and 'how.' Strategy Board helps you decide what belongs on your roadmap by validating strategic bets through experiments. They integrate seamlessly.

Do I need to use all four levels?

+

No. Start with objectives and opportunities, or jump straight to experiments. The hierarchy is flexibleβ€”use what makes sense for your maturity stage.

How does scoring actually work?

+

RICE scoring for solutions: (Reach Γ— Impact Γ— Confidence) Γ· Effort. Opportunity scoring: Spread Γ— Intensity Γ— Value. Both auto-calculate as you input estimates. You can customize weights and formulas for your context.

Can multiple teams share one Strategy Board?

+

Absolutely. Filter by team, owner, or theme. Each team sees their view while leadership sees the full picture.

What if we already have a strategic framework (OKRs, etc)?

+

Strategy Board complements any framework. Map your OKRs as objectives, key results as opportunities, or create your own structure. It's flexible.

How long does setup take?

+

Most teams start with 3-5 objectives in their first session (under an hour). You can import existing strategy or start fresh. The tool guides you through the framework.
