OpenSpaceNetworthing: Lean Canvas - Validate before you build
Details
Every last Saturday of the month (except Dec/Jan), people from diverse disciplines meet to networth through a common goal, to learn, get inspired and connect with interesting people.
The idea is to work on a common practise, that would benefit our community.
A Product goes through multiple stages.
One of the critical and important step is to validate your business/product idea.
This month, Varun Jain, Product Manager,
https://www.linkedin.com/in/codervj/
will lead this hands-on Validation workshop using Lean Canvas.
Welcome to the Lean Canvas Workshop
where we’ll explore a structured approach to problem-solving and Idea Validation in product development. You’ll learn how to break down business ideas, identify key assumptions, and validate them effectively using the Lean Canvas framework.
Through interactive exercises and discussions, you’ll gain hands-on experience in applying Lean Canvas to real-world challenges. By the end of the session, you’ll be equipped with practical tools to refine your ideas and drive better product decisions.
