| Criterion |  Product Strategy Impact Mapping |  Product Strategy OKRs |  Growth A/B Testing |  Product Strategy SMART Goals |
|---|---|---|---|---|
Purposedifferent | When a goal needs to be connected to several possible paths, it shows chains of impact instead of feature lists. It connects business goal, behavior change, and measures. | When strategic direction needs to become measurable, it connects ambition with checkable results. It makes goals connectable to focus and review. | When two variants compete, discussions quickly decide by taste rather than effect. A/B Testing checks behavior under controlled conditions and separates real improvement from chance or expectation effects. | When goals are formulated too generally, it brings measurability, direction, and timing into shape. It prevents intentions from staying without clear verification. |
