TOOL: Analyzing Your Competitors, Part 2: Feature Canvas
Analyze Your Competitors
Every startup has competitors. Competitors prevent customers from buying the product your startup is selling.
A Feature Canvas is a way of organizing all the features that you and your competition have. It is a way to easily identify the strengths, weaknesses, and path and potential of your product. A feature canvas visually shows people’s pain points are currently being solved with the solutions available today.
A Feature Canvas gives a product development team just enough detail to plan a flexible, yet focuses, agile product development process.
