product-strategist

This product-strategist skill acts as a comprehensive strategic engine for Heads of Product and product leadership teams. It facilitates organizational alignment by automating the generation of cascaded OKRs from the company level down to individual teams. By leveraging built-in logic for vertical and horizontal alignment scoring, users can ensure their strategic planning is coherent, balanced, and structurally sound. The toolkit is designed for high-impact phases like quarterly planning, new market entry, or significant organizational restructuring.

• Generate full OKR cascades using specific strategies such as growth, retention, revenue, innovation, and operational excellence.

• Perform alignment validation with quantitative scores for vertical, horizontal, coverage, and balance, helping identify coordination gaps before they impact delivery.

• Configure team-specific objectives by inputting custom org structures, contribution percentages, and target metrics.

• Export strategic plans in JSON format for direct integration with project management tools like Lattice, Ally, or Workboard.

• Utilize pre-built templates for diverse product strategies to ensure consistency across engineering, design, and data departments.

• The skill provides a robust command-line interface via okr_cascade_generator.py, requiring only standard Python libraries.

• Input metrics like MAU, NPS, and conversion rates to ground high-level objectives in real data.

• Follow the provided reference documents, including the OKR framework guidelines and specific strategy-type definitions, to optimize decision-making.

• It is best utilized during high-stakes strategic sessions to maintain focus on alignment and organizational capacity constraints.

• The generator enforces clear parent-child relationships between objectives, preventing the common trap of isolated or conflicting team goals.
