- List associated costs
A quick plan is more than just an idea—it’s a growth engine. Share the drafted one-page lean canvas with colleagues, potential customers, and other stakeholders to gather insights and feedback.

Prepare your detailed launch strategy

Consider the following while outlining your launch plan:

- Financial Plan & Projections
