The Business Model Canvas (BMC) is widely used to structure strategic discussions, yet the processes for its development and maintenance remain inconsistently described across domains. Although the original framework implies a sequence of design and validation stages, little is known about how these processes are organised and enacted in practice. This scoping review maps 125 peer-reviewed studies published between 2015 and 2024, identified through a search covering the period from 2010 to March 2025, to clarify how BMC development unfolds across contexts.
