Marketing, Desk Research, Documentation
As we bet you’ve experienced, data can get pretty dense and dry. But you need it to be compelling, memorable, and understandable. The solution? Infographics. These are tools that let you present information in a visually striking way and turn quantitative or qualitative data into stories that engage and resonate. Whoever you’ll be presenting to — customers, donors, or your own internal teams — our template will let you design an infographic that combines text and visuals to break down even the most complicated data.
Technology Product Canvas Template
Works best for:
Product Management, Meetings
Originally created by Prem Sundaram, the Technology Product Canvas allows product and engineering teams to achieve alignment about their shared roadmap. The canvas combines agile methodologies with UX principles to help validate product solutions. Each team states and visualizes both product and technology goals, then discusses each stage of the roadmap explicitly. This exercise ensures the teams are in sync and everyone leaves with clear expectations and direction. By going through the process of creating a Technology Product Canvas, you can start managing alignment between the teams -- in under an hour.
Product Hypothesis Canvas
Works best for:
Product Management, Planning
The Product Hypothesis Canvas template assists product teams in formulating and testing hypotheses effectively. By defining assumptions, success metrics, and validation experiments, this template guides teams through the hypothesis validation process. With sections for articulating problem statements, proposed solutions, and expected outcomes, it ensures that hypotheses are clear, testable, and aligned with strategic objectives. This template serves as a framework for hypothesis-driven product development, enabling teams to validate ideas and make data-informed decisions.

It provides elements for reflecting on challenges faced, lessons learned, and goals for the future. This template enables teams to navigate uncertainties, chart a course for success, and foster a culture of resilience. By promoting reflection and metaphorical thinking, the Midnight Sailboat Retrospective empowers teams to overcome obstacles, embrace change, and sail towards their goals effectively.
