Kyrian Product Prioritization

What is the template about?

The template is a product discovery canvas used to define and prioritize both the aspects to include in the product and those to exclude. It provides a visually organized structure for exploring product ideas and objectives, as well as making informed decisions about what should be part of the final product and what should not.

What does it help you achieve?

The template helps you clearly define essential elements of your product and its primary objective. It facilitates decision-making by providing clear categories to include and exclude elements based on their importance and value. It also allows identification and prioritization of key features, leading to better alignment and focus in the product development process.

Who would benefit most from it?

The template would be beneficial for product development teams, product managers, designers, and other professionals involved in the product discovery and development process. It could also be useful for cross-functional teams seeking a clear structure to collaborate on feature definition and prioritization.

How is it used?

To use the template, start by filling in the header blocks, describing the product, setting the goal, and explaining why that goal is important. Then, use the "Include" and "Exclude" blocks to identify elements to be included or excluded from the product. Use categories like "We Would Like," "Important," and "Must Have" to indicate the priority of elements to include, and "Doesn't Add Value," "Out of Scope," and "Not Important" for elements to exclude. The yin-yang symbol at the center represents the potential for changes and adjustments based on ongoing discovery.
