Visualizing Powerful Products

Join serial entrepreneur and CMU professor, Adam Paulisick, as he guides a small group through the process of building a stakeholder map and considerations for creating a minimum viable product (MVP).

The hands-on workshop will help you prioritize who to build for and sell to and equip you with the tools to create a simple but compelling concept map that educates customers, investors, and future employees on the powerful experience you’re building. Each participant will walk away with their very own stakeholder map and storyboard.

This free, 90-minute workshop will be limited to 15 participants. Adam will be using miro.com, an online collaborative whiteboard, to help participants visualize their stakeholder map. In advance of the workshop, participants will be required to attend a brief session on the wonders of miro.com (Friday, April 30, 8:30 AM) or watch a brief tutorial video.

Who’s perfect for this workshop?

Save your spot if you’re an entrepreneur stressing about the questions below:

• Do I have enough focus on 2-3 major customers for my product and sales efforts?
• In what order should I prioritize customer feedback?
• What’s a clear and simple way to explain the experience I’m building?
• Do I want to learn how to build/manage remotely with digital tools like miro.com?

Never used miro.com? No worries! You don’t need to be a miro pro to benefit from this workshop, but you should feel comfortable using the internet for research, interacting with social media platforms, and re-sizing photos. The brief miro tutorial required before the workshop will get all participants up to speed and ready to learn.
