  2. 2

    Fill in the sections

    Filling in the information in sections by placing sticky notes on the whiteboard.
    The sections include: Customer type, Customer needs, Your product / feature / service, Market category, and Key benefit.

  3. 3

    Discuss and vote

    Ask the group to vote on the ideas that best represent the project’s purpose one vote per section. In order to reduce groupthink try to keep the vote-casting stage private.

  4. 4

    Consolidate

    Once all votes are in use the sticky notes with the most votes to complete the phrase “As a [target customer type] who want(s) to [need/desire] [product/feature/service] is a [market category] that [key benefit].”
    Document your final elevator pitch. As a team, verify that it captures the value of your product, feature, or service concisely.
