The Experiment Canvas
The Experiment Canvas
Experimentation after all is one of the keys to continuous improvement.
My inspirations for this template came from a range of sources : my own experiences, adventures with Agile as well as some of the stellar work others have also done in this space (Bram Kanstein's Miroverse template)
Why use this template?
Have you;
Identified a systemic impediment spanning multiple teams that you need to try and resolve?
Is the team your working with struggling with a blocker that regularly pops up at retrospectives?
Are you trying to solve a real customer problem and want to formulate your plan?
Many similar templates don't focus on those who will be impacted by the experiment. Identify these people and co-create it with them
Then try using the template! It may just help those involved visualise how to make meaningful change.
Notable things to think about
The Scientists - Who is carrying out the experiment?What are our roles & responsibilities?
The Problem - What is the problem we need to solve?Why do we need to experiment with something new?
The Outcome - What are our desired outcomes?What are we hoping to achieve through the experiment?
The Hypothesis -What's our hypothesis?IF, BY, WILL, BECAUSE
The Results - How will we know our hypothesis is true?How will we know our hypothesis is false?
The People -Who will be affected by our experiment?Who do we need to engage and involve?
The Litmus Test - What's our litmus test?What metrics, data or KPI's do we need to measure?
The Trials - When will we measure results?What are the next steps to bring this experiment to life?
