LEANSTACK provides the ability for your team to iterate rapidly on any number of business models. Within each business model you create, you'll have the corresponding tools available to drive the process from ideation to scale.

Each business model contains its own set of tools. Availability of tools depends on your current plan or the cohort you belong to. The full list of available tools include:

You can access the tools by selecting your listed team in the sidebar under the "Business Models" section. You can click on the project name to get a listing of all models (and settings) or click directly into a given tool for that model.

If you belong to multiple projects, each project will be shown in the sidebar.

Lean Canvas is a 1-page business plan template created by Ash Maurya that helps you deconstruct your idea into its key assumptions. It is adapted from Alex Osterwalder's Business Model Canvas and optimized for Lean Startups. It replaces elaborate business plans with a single page business model.

Each business model can have 1 Lean Canvas.

When navigating to a team you'll see a listing of respective business models. This will include basic status details for each tool in the model, where applicable. Each model also contains its own dropdown that will provide a few additional actions including: Rename, Clone, and Delete. At the top right of this page you can also start a new business model.

Rename - provide an updated name for your business model.

Clone - if the source business model has a completed Lean Canvas, the cloning process will copy the corresponding detail. A new business model is created as part of this process, but no other tool besides the Lean Canvas is copied.

Archive - if available, moves the business model into an archived bucket. The business model will be removed from the main view, but still accessible in case it's needed in the future.

Delete - if available, completely deletes the business model from the team. In some cases, the ability to delete may be unavailable if your team is part of a program.

Each team/project has the concept of a primary model. If you only have a single model then that is your primary model. If you have many models then you'll see a particular model with a star next to its name. This is the primary model. Primary models cannot be deleted or archived.

If you wish to delete or archive a primary model then you must first mark another model as the primary.
