List the documents that will be delivered. Examples include “User research,” “Persona development,” “Concept design,” “Wireframing,” “Creation of detailed mock-ups” and “User testing,” to name just a few design-related activities. These are the methods and approaches you’ll be employing on the project. To the right of “Users” is a list of key activities. Usually, the number of participants depend on the size and the complexity of the project, it can also be just one person. Every member of the team has a role and responsibility for performing particular actions throughout the project. The participants are people who plan and execute the project. They are individuals who work in collaboration to implement the project and achieve the desired outcome. For instance, if prototypers are depended on getting content from a client, that should be made explicit. Optional: in the lower half of this box you can show dependencies. We tend to have several lists of participants by type, such as “core team,” ”stakeholders” and “interested parties.” Include individual names as much as possible. This should include all people involved in the project in some way. On the far left is a list of project participants. Goals tell that the project has its benefits, this means it creates significant value for the project participants, the parties involved in the project and its end-user. It is simply the reason why the project is started in the first place, leading to the end result. The goal refers to why the project is initiated and the desired outcomes to be achieved.

Include subheaders in this box to distinguish different types of information. You can also map success metrics to each goal in this box. To the left of users is a region for project goals. What will they gain from it? This can include things like “faster check-out times” or “more control over their own content” and so forth. List the concrete benefits that users will have when the project is successfully completed. For instance, you can list personas you’ve developed here, as well. You may want to be even more granular in detail. This can be at a high level, such as “readers” and “advertisers” for a media portal.

At a minimum, list here the main target groups relevant to the project. Accordingly, we’ve put “Users” in the center of the canvas. We believe users stand at the center of attention in every project. Using the Project Canvas allows participants in a project to discuss relevant issues for execution. The Project Model Canvas is an innovative tool used to transform an idea into a project plan and to stimulate collaboration and communication between all involved parties from the project team to sponsors to stakeholders.
