How to use the Product Management Canvas?

The Product Management Canvas is a tool that helps you as a product owner/product manager to evaluate the status of the product. By filling in the canvas you get, at any time, a good and complete picture of how your product is doing. This framework is designed to allow you to take a 'helicopter view' and zoom out from your day-to-day work. It allows you to check if and where your product and everything around it needs (extra) attention.

  2. Reserve a large piece of wall or space
  3. Print or draw the canvas on a large sheet of paper
  4. Have plenty of Post-it's and markers at the ready
