Outcome Discovery Canvas: Define Desired Business Outcomes
Define measurable outcomes and success metrics before you commit to building features.
Outcome Discovery Canvas
The Trap of the "Feature Factory"
It is a common story in product development. Teams work hard to ship features on time. They launch, they celebrate, and then... nothing happens. Users don't care. Metrics don't move.
This happens when we focus on outputs (what we build) instead of outcomes (what value we create).
The Outcome Discovery Canvas (ODC) acts as a strategic pause button. It sits right before your roadmap. It forces teams to align on the "Why" and the "What" before they get lost in the complexity of the "How."
What is the Outcome Discovery Canvas
The Outcome Discovery Canvas (ODC) is a strategic thinking and planning tool designed to help product teams, business leaders, and innovators shift their focus from delivering features to delivering outcomes.
It provides a structured way to explore and align on what success looks like — not just what you’re building, but why you’re building it and what change it aims to create.
Outcome Discovery Canvas Deep Dive
Problems & Opportunities
Describe the problems/opportunities that your existing or prospective users/customers have today that your program intends to address.
How do you start?
Be on the lookout for opportunities to bring value to end customers, internal users, and the business through continuous, exploratory research.
Most people continue to generate new feature ideas. Ideation is messy and spontaneous. This is perfectly fine, as long as effort is made to reset the focus on the underlying problem.
Answering these 8 questions may help you identify the right problem/opportunity:
- What problem are we solving?
- For which customers are we solving that problem?
- How do we know the user really has this problem?
- What would be the desired outcomes for these customers?
- What would be the desired outcomes for our business?
- What is the competition doing to address that problem?
- When do we need to address that problem?
- Are there any critical factors to consider for success?
Users and Customers
What types of users/customers face the problems/opportunities that your business outcomes address?
Use personas to avoid solving for yourself (we are not the customer). You can follow these criteria to define a perfect persona.
- An archetype of a group of users
- Created by identifying trends in user research
- Summarizes research in digestible format
- Gives research a face and a name and helps us empathize
- It does not represent one person
- Simple, iterative, easy to use, human, and useful
Current & Future State
Current state
Provide a high-level description of the state of the business process today. Explain how do users/customers address their problems/opportunities today?
Future State
Provide a high-level description of the state of the business process once the program is complete. What will change for the users/customers once their problems/opportunities are addressed?
Risk of Not Doing
If you don’t solve these problems/opportunities, will it hurt your business?
Not solving a given problem or not attending a new opportunity may have multiple type of risks:
- Customers impacts (i.e. Pen rate reduction, Negative customer satisfaction)
- Government risk (i.e. Legal implications, Penalties)
- Business challenges (i.e. Maintaining manual process which is error-prone, Teams using end-of-service life software)
- Financial impact (i.e. Revenue loss, Cost increase, Market share loss)
Whenever describing those risks, always keep in mind the identified User, Customers and Business that are impacted by the problem.
User & Business Outcomes
What are the highest-level business outcomes that you expect the program to deliver that solve the problems/opportunities of your target audience?
Objectives are the results that you want to achieve as a result of your actions. It highlights the outcomes and provides the guidance to your team to stay focused. Outcomes are specific, measurable statements that let you know when you have reached your goals - something you expect to occur as a result of your actions.
SMART Goals
Setting SMART goals (Specific, Measurable, Achievable, Results Oriented, and Time-Bound) allows us to estimate and maximize impact. List goals to provide clarity to outcomes.
Defining success measures in advance helps provide context to assist with sizing.
Assumptions
These are assumptions that, if we get them wrong, will jeopardize the success of our initiative. As we begin to test our assumptions, these are the assumptions we should test first.
In this field, it’s important to clarify every assumption taken, so teams can better understand the scenarios they need to consider while identifying solutions to be estimated.
There are several categories of assumptions:
- User & Customer Needs, Problems, or Opportunities
- Business Needs, Problems, or Opportunities Solutions
Key Resources & Dependencies
This field should have the identification of organizations or functions within or outside of company that might need to change processes or tools in order to support and achieve these outcomes.
Resource is also a key section of Business Model Canvas.
Financial Impact
The Financial Impact should leverage the existent Cost Benefit Analysis for the given Problem or Opportunity.
Potential financial impacts:
- Business related (i.e. Pen rate or Revenue increase)
- Head Count related (i.e.: HC efficiencies to support new manual processes)
- Increased margin
- Positive Market share impact
- Licensing cost reduction
Relationship Between ODC and OBR
ODC and the Outcome-Based Roadmap (OBR) work as a pair in an outcome-driven product process.
Outcome Discovery Canvas comes first, and it defines the “Why” and “What”
The ODC helps you discover and define the outcomes you want to achieve in the early planning process. This is the foundation where clarity around outcomes is generated before anything is built.
Outcome-Based Roadmap comes next and it defines the “How” and “When”
Once you used ODC to clarify your goals and success criteria, you can build an Outcome-Based Roadmap which organizes your initiatives, and provides a timeline or sequence of steps to achieve the outcomes.
In short, The Outcome Discovery Canvas helps you define your desired outcomes, while the Outcome-Based Roadmap helps you plan and deliver work to achieve those outcomes.
How to Use Outcome Discovery Canvas?
Now let's see the process flow of using ODC.
- Partners collaborate on ODC creation
- Stakeholders summarize problems and opportunities to solve and expected results in ODC. Every intake should have one ODC and each ODC may have one or more Outcomes
- Business Requestor fills the necessary fields
- Partners collaborate and review ODC adding any supplemental details
- Outcomes and measurable goals are clarified as a result of collaborative discussion. Solutions options are reviewed and selected for estimation
- Execution team estimate effort and communicate to stakeholders
