The Value Proposition Canvas is a tool designed to align the value proposition of a product or service with the needs and expectations of customers. It is divided into two parts: the Customer Profile, which describes the customer's tasks, problems and needs, and the Value Map, which details how the product or service solves those problems and satisfies those needs. In an innovation and design process, the Value Proposition Canvas serves to ensure that the value proposition is relevant and attractive to customers. It helps to clearly identify what customers value and how the product or service can be differentiated from the competition, facilitating the creation of solutions that truly solve problems and provide tangible benefits to users.
