The Product Goal is considered a long-term objective because it provides a clear direction and purpose for the Scrum Team. It represents a significant milestone that the team strives to achieve over an extended period. The team must fulfil or abandon one objective before moving on to the next, ensuring focused and sustained effort towards meaningful progress.
This long-term objective helps prevent the team from getting distracted by short-term tasks that do not contribute to the overall Product Vision. It ensures that every action taken by the team is aligned with the broader strategic goals of the product.
