You’ve been using LLMs wrong to help you with product strategy!

Sadly, too many β€œexperts” out there (and even tools) will tell you how an LLM will write a PRFAQ for you. That's dumb! Yet, I didn't have an answer on how you must use it the *right* way… until now.

The secret to defining and communicating a strong strategy In this post, Marcelo Calbucci pulls back the curtain on Amazon's PRFAQ process, one of the best tools for crafting strategy.

Ravi Mehta and I just published an article about using the PRFAQ as a tool to discover, debate, and decide on a strong product strategy. If you live in a culture of β€œbuild first, ask questions later" or β€œstrategy by bullet points,” you'll enjoy this article.
