NORTH STAR FRAMEWORK
Make the North Star Framework work in real life
A simple, practical way to bring focus, alignment and clarity into your organisation — built from years of hands-on experience implementing NSF with real teams.
NSF Board gives you one shared view of your North Star, Product Drivers, Top Problems, Current Goals and The Work.
Built to solve the problems teams face every day
Most organisations don’t suffer from a lack of ideas — they suffer from a lack of clarity.
- Strategy that never reaches the teams
- Too many “top priorities”
- Output instead of outcome
- Misalignment across Product, Engineering, Sales and Customer Support
- No transparency across teams
- Leaders stuck in status meetings
- No repeatable planning rhythm
NSF Board gives you a lightweight structure that makes direction clear — and keeps teams focused.
A lightweight layer above your existing tools
NSF isn’t a new agile process.
NSF Board isn’t a replacement for Jira, Linear, Trello or Notion. Teams continue working exactly as they do today.
What NSF adds is the missing strategic layer above delivery, connecting:
North Star → Product Drivers → Top Problems → Current Goals → The Work
Your tools handle delivery.
NSF Board handles direction.
Works across the whole organisation
NSF helps organisations move in the same direction — not just Product & Engineering.
- Sales sees what's coming
- Customer Support understands the focus
- Marketing aligns their plans
- Operations stays in sync
- Leadership follows progress without extra meetings
NSF Board becomes a shared language for the entire company.
