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.
