In a world where more and more value is driven by change and projects, it’s crucial that project professionals have access to guidance that is simple to understand, adapt and apply.
For project professionals at the beginning of their careers, and those for whom project management is not a core activity, established project management methods and frameworks can be challenging to understand fully and apply effectively.
Project Canvas is the perfect solution for individuals starting out on their project management careers, whilst also offering a simple and effective framework to add to the seasoned project professional’s toolkit.
Project Canvas: A simple framework to learn how to apply project management fundamentals to increase stakeholder engagement and project success
The Project Canvas is composed of four domains (Why, Who, What/How/When, Where) and fourteen building blocks. It provides a unique opportunity for project managers, experienced and beginners, as well as senior executives to start applying a method that is simple, universal and proven, and will lead to better outcomes in their organization.
The Project Canvas is not intended to refute the established methods of project management. On the contrary, the canvas should make them more universally applicable. It works with traditional, hybrid, and agile project management methodologies.
Developed by a global champion of project management
The Project Canvas framework and training course were developed by Antonio Nieto-Rodriguez, an influential and leading figure in the world of project management. Antonio is an experienced consultant, trainer and executive coach, and an author of numerous project management publications including the Harvard Business Review Project Management Handbook.
Recognized by Thinkers50 and ranked #4 in the Global Gurus Top 30 list, Antonio is a Project Management Institute (PMI) Fellow and past Chair, Founder of Projects & Co and co-Founder of the Strategy Implementation Institute.
