Here are some facilitation tools we have used to help our customers improve their agility.
Another canvas? Not again. We work alot with Product Owners in corporations who develop product for internal use. We have searched and used many different canvases that are already existed however the majority of these canvases are for commercial product. So we created this canvas. We mainly use the Product Strategy Canvas when working with corporations who develop products for internal use but it is quite suitable for products for commercial use too. The Product Strategy Canvas is a tool that we use to connect the business to the Scrum team. During our engagement, we have seen too many times how the Product Owners are disconnected from the overarching business goals and jump straight to product features / user stories without knowing how the product they own will impact the overall business. Even worse, when the product they own was not being used by their consumers. The main purpose from using this canvas is as a tool for alignment and transparency. Hopefully it can help you help your Product Owners too. Enjoy.

User Story is the most common format to write the Product Backlog item. As Scrum is just a framework, Scrum does not require the team to write the Product Backlog item using User Story format. Scrum teams can find other format that they think is more suitable for them.
The Hypothesis format is the format we discovered when working with a Scrum team who felt they need to see the goal, consumer outcome and metric as success indicator in the Product Backlog item. We use this Hypothesis format together with the Product Canvas. The hypothesis format connects all of the boxes on the Product Canvas.
