The three steps above form a breadth-first approach: The product is sketched holistically, but the details are determined on a sprint-by-sprint basis. See my post “ Effective Sprint Goals” for more information on choosing the right goal or hypothesis. Finally, determine what needs to be done to reach the goal, or to test the hypothesis, for instance, creating a scenario and a paper prototype to learn more about the user interaction. This could be a lack of knowledge surrounding the user interaction, the user interface design, a product feature, or the architecture and technology. As you are about to start building the first product increment, you should address the greatest risk or the biggest uncertainty. The third step determines what should be done in the first sprint. Make sure that the product features you identify address the need of a persona, or support the business model. Helpful techniques to capture the user experience and the product functionality include scenarios, storyboards, epics, constraint stories, and design sketches / mock-ups. The second step describes the product comprehensively but at a rough, coarse-grained level. You can read more about personas in the post “ A Template for Writing Great Personas”. I also recommend using a primary persona, as it creates focus and facilitates decision-making. Their needs enable you to discover the right product features. The personas allow you to connect with the target users and customers. The first step creates personas based on the insights gained in your problem validation work. To create your initial Product Canvas take the following three steps: Create personas outline the user experience and the features determine what to do in the first sprint, as the picture below shows: Starting out with paper and pencil is effective and fun in my experience, even if you intend to use a digital canvas. Have the necessary materials available including paper sheets, paper cards, adhesive notes, masking tape, markers, and pencils. Organise an appropriate room with lots of wall space. To ensure a smooth workshop, use a facilitator, for instance, the ScrumMaster.

Note that the strength of the Product Canvas is solution validation – building the right product – and not discovering if the product should be built in the first place! I like to capture the insights above using my Product Vision Board, as the following picture shows:īeing able to answer the questions above means that some problem validation has taken place prior to the workshop, for instance, by carrying out user observations and problem interviews.

The Product Canvas creation workshop wants to kick-start your product definition activities. This post explains how you can create your initial canvas using a collaborative workshop. The Product Canvas is a simple, yet powerful tool that helps you create a product with a great user experience and the right features.
