The App Concept Canvas
Most startups will be familiar with the infamous Business Model Canvas, a strategic management and lean startup template for planning business models. If you haven’t yet heard, the BMC is a great tool and worth spending the time to work through.
Needing a solution specific to app development, the Envisage Apps team re-invented the BMC just for apps to create the App Concept Canvas. This re-designed template poses the questions most relevant to apps at the concept stage. With this canvas you will clarify areas that will help better communicate your idea, and consider aspects relating to marketing and customer acquisition.
Find out how we used the App Concept Canvas for one of our own apps, DayNinja. Download your free copy now – then let’s talk.
