Introduction

​

What is Vistaly?

Vistaly is the operational hub for product teams who want to build the right solutions for the right problems.

Vistaly supports product teams when answering the important questions:

“Are we building this right?” - The execution question

“Are we building the right thing?” - The strategic question

As development cycles accelerate, and time to build decreases, ensuring your teams are solving the right problems becomes more crucial than ever. Vistaly creates alignment between strategy and execution by integrating:

• Business & Product Strategy - Your organization’s direction and priorities
• Customer Needs & Challenges - The problem space you’re addressing
• Solutions & Ideas - The potential approaches to solving those problems

​

What Vistaly IS NOT:

• A standalone goal-setting framework that sits separate from daily work
• Another task management tool
• A static documentation system

​

The Two Spaces

The Strategy Space and Discovery Space form a continuous feedback loop within Vistaly. Strategy defines the direction and success criteria that guide discovery activities, while insights and learnings from discovery efforts inform and refine the strategy. This bidirectional relationship ensures your product decisions remain aligned with business objectives while adapting to customer needs and changes in the market.

The Strategy Space translates your ‘why’ into measurable objectives, while the Discovery Space helps you determine ‘what’ to build and ‘how’ to build it. Together, they create a cohesive system where customer insights drive strategic decisions, and strategy provides the foundation for meaningful discovery.

​
