Model: 3 horizons of software development

Horizon 1 covers the immediate future with products and services that will deliver results the same year;

Horizon 2 covers the next few periods, with an expanding reach of the products and services; and

Horizon 3 covers many months ahead, where experimentation is needed to assess market fit and suitability of new services, products, and features.
