Decide what to work on, what to fund, when, and why
There are several proven models to make clear, defensible strategy decisions. The right approach depends on your organization’s size, tooling, and operational maturity. Below are three practical paths to implement strategic prioritization.
1. Strategy in Aha
If your organization already uses an enterprise platform such as Aha, you can implement strategy directly within that system with full goal-to-delivery traceability.
You can use Aha to:
- Define outcome-driven strategic goals that clarify what success looks like.
- Score and prioritize initiatives using transparent value-based criteria.
- Connect goals to initiatives, roadmaps, and delivery with full traceability.
This option is ideal if you want enterprise-level visibility and portfolio alignment.
2. OKR-Based Strategy
If you prefer a lightweight approach, use an OKR-driven model to align initiatives to measurable business outcomes.
You can use the Google Sheets templates we provide to:
- Define company and team-level OKRs
- Map initiatives to key results
- Score and prioritize based on impact and effort
This is ideal if your organization is growing and does not yet have enterprise tooling.
3. Structured Strategy Model
(Playing to Win + Three Horizons + Cost of Delay)
If you prefer a more structured approach, use a model that integrates:
- Playing to Win for strategic positioning
- Three Horizons for investment timing
- Cost of Delay for economic prioritization
This option is ideal if you are making multi-quarter or portfolio-level investment decisions.
All three paths lead to the same outcome: defensible, disciplined, transparent strategy decisions that connect investment to execution.
