| Criterion |  Product Strategy Product Vision Board |  Product Strategy Counter Metrics |  Product Strategy OKRs |  Engineering Goal Question Metric |
|---|---|---|---|---|
Purposedifferent | When a product needs a shared direction, it connects target audience, benefit, and business picture in a clear vision. It makes the envisioned future legible for the team. | When a headline metric could mask side effects, it adds guardrail signals against unwanted outcomes. It connects customer value, product logic, and decision priorities. The result is captured as a counter-metric list and guardrail definitions. | When strategic direction needs to become measurable, it connects ambition with checkable results. It makes goals connectable to focus and review. | Helps clarify technical problems, hypotheses, and next steps in concrete terms. It breaks a technical problem into testable parts. The result is captured as a GQM table and metric briefs. |
