About this listen

In this episode of The Product Handbook, we break down how product managers should think about planning across different time horizons — from next sprint to next year.


You’ll learn:

  • How sprint planning, monthly planning, quarterly planning, and annual planning differ — and how they connect
  • What decisions belong at each level, and what absolutely does not
  • How to balance long-term strategy with short-term execution without constant rework
  • How to manage trade-offs like technical debt, capacity, and shifting priorities
  • How to communicate plans differently to executives, stakeholders, and delivery teams


If planning often feels either too tactical or too vague, this episode gives you a clear mental model for aligning daily work with long-term strategy — and staying sane while doing it.
