I’ve updated the Opportunity Canvas by tightening up some of the language and descriptions and renaming the ‘Budget’ section to ‘Constraints’. Budget is a key constraint (how much is this opportunity worth realising or problem worth solving?) but I also find it’s worth explicitly considering others. These include 'Time' (is there a deadline, what is the urgency?) and 'Technology' (what tools do we need to use?).


This version still tells a 'story' to gain a shared understanding by using the following flow:

  • What's our Goal?
  • What's the Opportunity?
  • How will we approach it?
  • How will we know we are succeeding?

Oh yes and the Canvas has also been made to look more beautiful!
