value proposition

A clear statement of the unique benefits and outcomes a product or service will deliver, expressed by the organization to its customers.

Key Points

  • Identifies the target customer and the problem or need being addressed.
  • Emphasizes outcomes and benefits over features or technical details.
  • Differentiates the product or service from alternatives and competitors.
  • Guides agile decisions such as product vision, backlog prioritization, MVP scope, and success metrics.

Example

A Scrum team building a mobile banking app defines its value proposition as: "Check balances and transfer money securely in under 10 seconds, anytime, anywhere." This steers the backlog toward biometric login, instant balance view, and streamlined transfers before less critical features.
