How the Workshop Works
Hereβs the pre-reading for the workshop:
How to Define Your Product Strategy
Gib wrote this step-by-step essay on Medium (it now has 20,000 βlikesβ).
Participants will also receive a 30-minute pre-watch video a week before the workshop.
Based on a pre-event survey, Gib will assign participants to teams with two to five peers. If youβre attending with a teammate from work, you can develop a product strategy for your product. If youβre attending on your own, or prefer to have a little more fun, you can work on a product you know and loveβ like Spotify, Shopify, Stripe or Instagram.
In the workshop, Gib introduces four product strategy frameworks:
- DHM. Delighting Customers in Hard to copy, Margin-enhancing ways. This forms the foundation for product strategies.
- GEM. Prioritizing Growth, Engagement, and Margin. This model helps companies to identify their high-level engagement metric to measure product quality and build alignment across organizations.
- SMT. Strategy, Metrics and Tactics. This model helps teams to assign a proxy metric to each strategy, along with tactics or projects.
- Rolling 4-quarter Roadmap. The roadmap expresses the product strategy, along with rough timing. Gib shares two formats: a rolling four-quarter project roadmap project as well as an output-based roadmap.
Each team will build a product strategy presentation using preformatted Google Slides. Towards the end of the session, each team will present its strategy to a paired team.
To conclude the workshop, Gib will simulate a Netflix Quarterly Product Strategy Meeting demonstrating how Netflix debates product strategy as he leads a discussion about two modern-day βWhat should Netflix do?β cases.

βGib is the most efficient product leader I've worked with. His product mentorship and cultural impact on the company were undeniable. I use much of what I learned from Gib in my current role as a product leader.β - Shout out from Linkedin
