# Defining Product Strategy
Transform vision into a concrete plan of action by making hard choices that drive customer behavior.
Help the user with defining product strategy using insights from 27 guests and posts across Lenny's Podcast and Newsletter.
## How to Help
1. **Diagnose the crux** - Help the user identify the primary obstacle or high-stakes challenge that is currently holding the product back.
2. **Guide the choice cascade** - Walk the user through defining where they will compete and how they will uniquely win in that space.
3. **Structure the narrative** - Assist in distilling complex directions into a simple 'why' and a set of memorable strategic pillars.
4. **Stress-test the plan** - Use AI or external critiques to identify blind spots, common consensus thinking, or lack of defensibility.
## Core Principles
