Project Kick-Off Canvas Project:

Version:

Date:

Session participants:

1) Desired outcomes

2) Plan of attack

3) Major deliverables & tasks

7) Stakeholders

What do we want to achieve?

How will things be better or different after the project?
What are the benefits we are trying to get?

How will we achieve the desired outcomes?

What is our strategy?
What are the major steps along the way?
What alternatives are there?
Which alternative might be best?
What are the priorities?

What will this project produce?

What are the major components to be created?
What do we need to deliver?
Where are the scope boundaries?

Who will benefit from this project?

Who will use or consume the deliverables?
Who needs to be a part of the project?
Who will be affected during or after the project?
Who needs to be kept informed?

Consider affect on - Business performance, customer,

staff, organizational capabilities, environment,
competitiveness, etc.

&
&

Consider physical outputs as well as intangibles.

Focus on being creative & thinking not only of how, but

how best.

5) Critical success factors

What will it take to make this project a success?

4) Measures of success
How will success be judged?
How could we express the desired outcomes as
objectives?
What are our targets?

Consider - skills, relationships, technical factors,

communications, support (buy-in), timing or any factor that
may help ensure success.

6) Constraints
Are there any limits?
When does this need to be done by?
How much money is available?
Are there any laws or regulations we need apply?
Consider if there are any ways around the constraints.

Aim for SMART goals (Specific, Measurable, Achievable,

Relevant and Time-bound).

8) Risks & assumptions

Parking lot) Issues, roadblocks & outstanding questions

What might go wrong?

What assumptions are we basing our plan on?
What happens if those assumptions are wrong?
How risky are the assumptions?
Can the plan of attack be modified to reduce risk?

Use this area to record items needing follow up or details you want to keep track off, but dont want to discuss
in full during the meeting.
