A: Hi Sumoling 84!

Great to hear from you and also pumped that you’re enjoying your experience on ExcelWay 🤩

Thanks for the suggestions on the templates! They make perfect sense and will add great value to ExcelWay’s workshops :) 

Please see my feedback on each below. Also, I’d be happy to continue these kinds of very specific discussions on the facebook group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/1339017013176133/

It’s still a quiet place as we’ve just created it and didn’t communicate on it yet, but we want it to be a place where we have meaningful conversations with our community and think together how we can make working with ExcelWay a fantastic experience.

1) Assumption Mapping
—> 💯 It’s been on our list and we’d LOVE to have it too asap. The thing is that an ideal assumption mapping would have lists/sections as grids so that people can place the stickies on very specific points of the screen which also brings the UX challenge of keeping it super simple to use. We could do quickly an assumption mapping template with the current UX (add a card and it places itself on the list next to the previous card) and it can be hacked easily too by any user by using a 4-lists template (such as a 4L retrospective and changing the name of the lists). So long story short: it is on our roadmap but needs a bit of time and conception.

2) Experiments Planning
—> Are you refering to the Experiment canvas by Ash Maurya? If so, it makes perfect sense and we will be adding it very soon.

3) Problem fit
—> Are you referring to the Problem-solution fit canvas? In this case, it makes perfect sense and we will be adding it very soon.

4) Solution fit
—> Same question as previous: to me, it is one canvas that brings problem and solution together.

5) product Market fit
—> Makes perfect sense and we will be adding it very soon.

6) MVP
—> Are you refering to the MVP Canvas or the MVP Experiment Canvas? Technically, they are both doable but we’d love to test it out first and ask our network of facilitators and users.

7) Managing expectations
—> I don’t know this template. I’ve only found one on Mural and if it’s this one, technically, then we’ll have to deal with the same challenges as Assumption Mapping.

8) Michael Porters 5 Forces
—> Makes perfect sense and will be adding it soon.

9_ Competitive startegy
—> There are many templates that deal with competitive strategy. Which one are you referring to?

10_ education
—> We don’t know any famous template on this topic. Is there a specific one you’re refering to?

Best,
