Lean Canvas on Leanstack is probably the easiest way to capture your business/product strategy and to share with your team!

I started to use it a long time ago and it is still the most effective and simple tool out there for your Lean Canvas creation

Pros:

Easy to create and to share with all stackholders

Cons:

Nothing so far

Lean Canvas doesn't let you get away with vagueness, and the leanstack product set supports best practice startup behaviour especially when life gets busy.
Jerry Everett

Can't live without this. Provides a simple structured approach to implementing lean startup principles.

Pros:

Clarifies my thinking around any new idea.

Cons:

No. Other systems are too large and expensive.

Shane Snipes

Been using the app for my classes for some time. It's great!

Pros:

Great interface for lean and nice improved flow through building beyond the canvas.

Cons:

Could use a little UX upgrade

Ash Maurya
Thanks for the feedback Shane... we're making changes daily to the platform and yes lots of UX tweaks are in progress...

Ash addresses the issues that are cloudy in Startup-land, and marries only the best successful agile and throughput strategies from the 20th century and combines them with lessons from the dotcom Silicon Valley 21st century businesses. Ash’s approach is one of the most vital tools for my team.

Pros:

Fantastic tool to focus and keep your team on targets to close sales, from the canvas to the projections.

Cons:

The basic membership only allows for one canvas, but the freemium allows more without the traction model.

Stephane

This is the best approach, It will help you and your team to ask important questions first. Then you can plan your sprint iteration to do experiments to get answers.

Pros:

Reduce waste by going with the essential.

Cons:

Not the canvas but librairies of previous cases can be useful.

Leonardo Valente

Use it every year at least from 6-7 years at university as a fundamental tool for lean startup understanding.

Pros:

Best canvas model implementation, quick and easy tool.

Cons:

Maybe more mobile friendly or a wizard mode is missing, but really are not big problems.

I recently started a subscription to LeanStack to use with one of my projects. I have found it to be extremely valuable. The tools help tracking and organizations, and the courses and guides are amazing. I have found it to be a great resource and tool for going from idea to traction.

Takes a few times to perfect your skills - but then it becomes very clear.

Pros:

A smart and logical planning tool that is well designed and easy to use. Clients love this and always find is valuable.

Cons:

The UX is OK-sh -- workable but slightly clunky
