Problem Definition Canvas
Teams often solve the wrong problems. The Problem Definition Canvas brings structure. It systematically explores context, stakeholders, constraints, and success. This 90-minute exercise turns vague statements into actionable definitions that guide solutions. Use when teams jump to solutions too fast. Expect clarifying discussion. Sometimes, assumed problems aren't real problems, which can be uncomfortable.
