When do I need a Project Canvas?

The Project Canvas provides a quick overview of the most important aspects of a project. All project elements are presented on a single slide, allowing for a rapid transition to the key topics and arguments. The Project Canvas is versatile and can be used in a variety of situations. For example, it is useful when stakeholders need to be quickly convinced of an idea, or when a team meeting requires a quick overview of the project.

What should be included on a Project Canvas?

This question cannot be answered generally, as every project is unique. Therefore, there are no fixed, prescribed elements of a project canvas. However, aspects such as finance, stakeholders, goals, resources, team, scope, risk, requirements, and timeline play an important role in almost every project and form the basis of most project canvases.

The level of detail is important for all elements. A project canvas should never attempt to depict an entire business case.

When configuring your canvas, always focus on the most important aspects of an element that need to be considered at the present time. The Project Canvas evolves with the project and is constantly adapted. In this way, it accompanies the actual project and can be useful at every stage.
