========= At the Strategy Horizon , the primary goal of analysis is to facilitate decision-making regarding the organization ' s portfolio of work. Therefore, the team should only develop enough detail to allow stakeholders to prioritize the initiative against other competing goals within the enterprise. Excessive detail at this stage is considered waste because strategic priorities can shift rapidly, and detailed requirements developed too early are likely to become obsolete. Analysis at the strategic level focuses on high-level outcomes, potential value, and broad estimates rather than specific features. This level of granularity provides just enough information for executives to determine if an initiative is worth pursuing or if resources should be allocated elsewhere, maintaining organizational agility and ensuring that delivery teams are always working on the most valuable strategic priorities.
