Product Vision Statement
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
Describe 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.
Who should use this workshop
Leaders, Product Managers, designers are the most dedicated ones to use this template to work with the team that is working on the product or company.
This template was created by Anne-Audrey Gounot.

You have an ideal customer: The group (or few groups) of people who will buy and love your product or service.

These semi-fictional representations of your current and potential customers can help you shape your product offering, weed out the “bad apples,” and tailor your marketing strategies for serious success.
