What is it?
The Product Alignment Doc is a battle-tested Miro template that forces you to get brutally clear on your product vision, goals, users, features, metrics, risks, and dependencies, all in one place.
It tackles the common problem of siloed priorities and misaligned teams by giving you a structured canvas for cross-functional collaboration. You start with Vision & Objectives, drill into User Personas and Journeys, then map out your Top Features and Success Metrics, and finish by flagging Risks & Dependencies.
Each section is a guardrail against wasted effort and growing confusion as you scale. Think of it as your single source of truth for product strategy, no fluff, no ambiguity, just razor-sharp alignment that keeps your roadmap honest.
Why it matters?
When your entire team shares a single, clear plan, you cut decision cycles in half, slash wasted dev time, and hit the market with coherent features that actually move the needle. That alignment turbocharges your go-to-market speed, boosts adoption by solving real customer pain, and keeps churn low by focusing on the metrics that matter.
How it works
Growth co-pilot turns your toughest product questions into clear, data-backed recommendations you can act on immediately.
1
Assemble Your Team
Kick off a 90-minute Miro workshop with product, design, engineering, and any key stakeholders. Real-time collaboration beats endless email threads.
2
Define Vision & Objectives
Write a one-sentence product vision and 2–3 measurable objectives. This reorients everyone around the same north star.
3
Map User Personas & Journeys
Sketch your core personas and their top 3 pain points. Trace a high-level journey to uncover context for your features.
4
List & Prioritize Features
Brain-dump every potential feature, then rank them using a simple effort vs. impact matrix right on the board.
5
Set Success Metrics
Assign a KPI to each objective. These metrics become your go/no-go criteria for feature bets.
6
Identify Risks & Dependencies
Call out technical blocks, cross-team handoffs, or external factors that could derail progress.
7
Review & Lock Alignment
Walk through the doc, get explicit buy-in via Miro's voting or comment features, and export a clean summary for your whole organization.
