The project canvas

The one-page worksheet a team fills in as they learn: who the work is for, what they need, and how it reaches them.

The project canvas is where a team keeps track of everything they're figuring out. The blocks are the people the work is for, what those people actually need, what the team is offering, the partners and resources it takes, how the work reaches people, and how it keeps going after the term. Every block starts as a guess and gets rewritten as the team learns. It's a worksheet, not a plan you fill out once and file away.
