A project has an extraordinary amounts of facets, which Project Canvas simplifies and makes easier to understand by decreasing features and focus on the macro-level of the project.

Project Canvas is built on the basis of studying the similarities in the popular project management methodologies: PRINCE2, PMI and Scrum. The following 12 elements was chosen after both qualitative and quantitative comparison and empirical prototyping with both small (1-4 people) and large (12-50 people) project organizations: purpose, scope, success criteria, outcome, team, stakeholders, users, resources, constraints, risks, milestones and actions. The visual representation is inspired by the well-known and widely used Business Model Canvas and Game Plan.
