Product Experience Canvas
- Robert Alexander Marshall
Atlassian contributed to the Product Experience Canvas. It's inspired by the classic lean canvas and one of the 'plays' Atlassian use in their Team Playbook.
The Product Experience Canvas board keeps work focused on building successive demos, as quickly and cheaply as possible, to learn about what users value most and pivot the definition of the problem and solution set towards that.
Atlassian products support their "Concept to Launch" offering. Simply put, Atlassian provides tools to help companies deliver the software that is now part of everything.
Transforming an idea to take a tool Concept to Launch is not a trivial matter - attracting customers, understanding attempted usage, appreciating and addressing issues they face, and pivoting towards the strongest uses demands attention, focus, and skill.
Traversing the myriad of issues can be extremely expensive, but methods such as Lean, Agile and User-Centred all have something to contribute (...).
Of course, each method takes time to learn; blending those into a quick-to-reference and tracking progress can be mind-blowing.
Boards provide an instant visual chart, delivering a simple guide that conveys both the method and status.
"The boxes in the board are different sizes to indicate how much effort should go into each one upfront‚ and gives some indication as to the Ievel of detail required."
"The solution space for example in our board ls quite small compared to the problem space."
"The message here is that more work should go into understanding the problem and telling, demoing end-to-end scenarios, rather than theorizing about a solution. "
