Strategy Canvas

What it does

The Strategy Canvas provides a set of structured strategic frameworks — North Star Metric, Jobs to Be Done, Value Proposition Canvas, and OKRs — with AI assistance to help you fill them in based on your product signals and goals.

Strategy documents are often written once and forgotten. The Strategy Canvas keeps your strategy alive by linking it to your Product Graph: when signals change, the canvas surfaces which strategic assumptions might need revisiting.

When to use it

• During annual or quarterly planning — define or refine your strategic direction
• When pivoting or changing focus — document the new direction and the reasoning behind it
• To align the team — give everyone a shared understanding of where you're going and why
• Before writing OKRs — use the North Star framework to ensure OKRs ladder up to the right metric
• For investor or board presentations — export a clean, structured strategy document

How to use it

Example

North Star Canvas for a B2B SaaS product:

North Star Metric: Weekly active workspaces (workspaces with at least 3 active users in a week)

Why this metric: It captures both adoption (multiple users) and retention (weekly activity) in a single number.

Leading indicators:

1. Time to first PRD generated (target: < 10 minutes)
2. Number of integrations connected per workspace (target: ≥ 2)
3. Invite rate (target: 40% of new workspaces invite a teammate in week 1)

Work that moves the metric:

• Onboarding redesign → improves time to first PRD
• Integration setup simplification → improves integrations connected
• Team collaboration features → improves invite rate
