In the end I’ll give you a very sweet solution.

There are great articles out there about Product Thinking, like this one, but no canvas that brings together all the main questions Product Thinking focuses on.

With that being said, I took a stab at it and created one (there is a tiny possibility others are looking for something like this but never found it).
