What problem does it solve?

This Skill guides product managers through creating Jeff Gothelf's Lean UX Canvas (v2), a tool that frames work around a business problem to solve, not a solution to implement, ensuring alignment and focused learning.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Problem Framing: Helps identify and articulate the core business problem and desired outcomes.
  • Assumption Mapping: Guides the definition of users, their benefits, potential solutions, and testable hypotheses.
  • Experiment Design: Facilitates the identification of the riskiest assumption and the smallest experiment to test it.
  • Use Case: A product team is about to start building a new feature. They use this Skill to collaboratively fill out the Lean UX Canvas, ensuring they understand the problem, target users, and have a clear, testable hypothesis before writing any code.

Quick Start

Use the Lean Ux Canvas skill to start defining the business problem for a new initiative.

How do we design the smallest experiment to validate a product hypothesis?▼

To design the smallest experiment to validate a product hypothesis, identify your riskiest assumption and determine the minimum viable test required to gather meaningful learning before writing code.

Can I use the Lean UX Canvas for cross-functional team alignment?▼
