Goals and Scopes
Focus you product development
- with LeanScope AI
Set clear business goals and define the scope of your product strategy, ensuring alignment with user needs and delivering impactful results.
What is a scope?
A scope defines the clear focus of your product development. It specifies which features will be implemented in a given development cycle. Scopes are based on the principles of the Lean UX approach and help to clearly define goals and priorities. Without a clear scope, there is a risk of wasting time and resources on features that fail to deliver the desired value or align with user needs.
How does it work?
When scoping new features, you start by defining your business goals - what you want to achieve in the short and long term. These goals are then connected to specific scopes, which represent the key focus areas for your product development. Scopes include defining your MVP, identifying user needs, and mapping out “As-is” and “To-be” scenarios to illustrate the current and future state of your product.
Stay focused and aligned with clear goals and scopes

Set clear business goals
Start by defining your business objectives, ensuring that everyone on the team understands what success looks like and how it will be measured. Link your goals directly to your product strategy for seamless alignment.
Define the scope for each increment
Focus your development efforts by defining the scope for each product increment, including the features and functionalities that will be included in your next MVP release. This helps prevent scope creep and ensures the team is working towards clear, achievable goals.

Map “As-is” and “To-be” scenarios
Use LeanScope AI to create detailed “As-is” scenarios, which describe how users currently interact with your product. Then, build “To-be” scenarios to envision the ideal future state of the product. This helps teams clearly understand the journey from the current experience to the improved one.
Identify user needs and opportunities
Align business goals with real user needs by mapping out user journeys and identifying pain points that need addressing. By connecting these elements, you ensure that your product development is both user-centered and goal-driven.
