Together towards the essence of your project

Before you start writing a whole project contract it would be better to start with a Project Canvas and visualize the essence of the project with all the stakeholders. It is easy to start working without clarifying the key aspects and added value of the project, and who would want to commit themselves to the development. The Project Canvas helps all of those involved.
The Project Canvas is a simple tool to design the project. Stakeholders answer the most important questions, and the completed Canvas gives a clear image of the essence of the project, which becomes the basis for the client’s decision to start or not. Once the decision has been made to start the project, The Project Canvas will be the basis for the project contract, the project plan and the project initiation document (PID).
The Project Canvas is a particularly practical tool for the project leader and team. They are the first to be responsible for designing the project. Whichever approach they choose (Project Management, Project Creation, Scrum, PRINCE2, Agile Project Management, Project Management Body of Knowledge, or others), the Canvas can be used with all methods. The Project Canvas is a quick and effective tool for every project. Interaction, co-creation, visualization, motivation, common language, proactive, open dialogue, ownership and a coherent view, this is The Project Canvas in a nutshell.

Das Buch stellt eine ganzheitliche Methode vor, die die wesentlichen Bausteine des Projekts und die Einbeziehung des Teams in den Fokus nimmt. Als Workbook konzipiert, bietet es viele konkrete Praxisbeispiele und Vorlagen - auch zum Download auf sp-mybook.de.
Ein neues Projekt wird gestartet: Das Thema reizt, das Team ist super, das Budget genehmigt. Doch bevor es richtig losgeht, müssen umfassende Pläne, riesige Excel-Tabellen und Reportingsysteme erstellt werden - bis aller Enthusiasmus verpufft ist. Wie lässt sich ein Projekt einfacher, schlanker und trotzdem zuverlässig und professionell steuern?
Das Buch stellt mit dem Project Canvas eine ganzheitliche Methode vor, die die wesentlichen Bausteine des Projekts und die Einbeziehung des Teams in den Fokus nimmt - von der Visualisierung der Projektidee über die Organisation (Was? Wer? Wie? Bis wann? Womit?) und den Kreativprozess bis zum erfolgreichen Abschluss.
