I started to use it a long time ago and it is still the most effective and simple tool out there for your Lean Canvas creation
Whenever I get an idea for a business, this is what I start with.
Ash Maurya is an excellent teacher and provides thought leadership. Anyone trying to build a product or service will benefit from learning about the Lean Canvas.
Our thoughts are biased in themselves. When we have an idea churning and digesting inside the grey matter between our ears. We fall in love with it, we think of ourselves, our idea as unstoppable, it has no faults. With a tool like lean canvas, we are able to birth that idea into the world, without risking large sums of money: capital, or 3 years of grinding a business up the hockey stick curve. We can do it from the saftey of our office, or on the kitchen table. We can within 20 min unravel the lies we tell ourselves. And when faced with the truth, and various realities: Something magical happens, we can pivot and plan and expand upon over and over and over with no risk other than forgoing on our ego's. Going forward: We need more case studies, a collective hive of brains, and of their journeys and what failed and why, and of course what got traction and why. Require acess to a 3rd person to probe, and question our assumptions. Vital, we need someone to challenge our ideas, our thinking. This is a team sport, and lean canvas brings everyone together :)
Lean Canvas has become a universal tool for business planning. It keeps you focused and forces you to answer the hard questions early, but does so quickly without getting lost in the weeds. Keep it clean, keep it focused, keep innovating -- those are just some of the benefits of using Lean Canvas.
This is the best approach, It will help you and your team to ask important questions first. Then you can plan your sprint iteration to do experiments to get answers.
Been using the app for my classes for some time. It's great!
I have used the Lean Canvas since 2013 in my work with over 100+ startups and large enterprises. It is the first step in our engagement process (to understand our clients' business model and for our clients and us to establish a common language). During delivery, it is the a key part of the suite of tools we use to help founders and CxOs build, run, and grow a successful business.
Can't live without this. Provides a simple structured approach to implementing lean startup principles.
This is a great tool that truly helps you validate your idea and ask the hard questions.
