From Blank Canvas to Product Vision (Sam Falco)

• What we’ll do
Sometimes the product development process sounds mystical: a vision appears in a brilliant spark of inspiration, and everything flows from that. That can happen, but in every creative discipline, the muse is more likely to appear when we’ve prepared the way. Product development is no different. Product owners, stakeholders, and creative thinkers can use canvases to identify customers needs and potential solutions, refine those ideas into a product vision, and translate that vision into concrete product increments. Participants in this workshop will learn how to use an Opportunity Canvas, the Product Canvas, and a Discovery Board to create and refine their product vision. Stop waiting for inspiration to strike, and join Sam for an interactive workshop that will teach you to make inspiration come to you.
