Managing projects in effective ways is important for all industries and is also the main focus of a number of academic initiatives.  \nThis manual will explain the concept of Project Canvas and how it can be used to create an overview of any project. Project Canvas is a convenient tool for communicating within the project team, for decision making, and is thereby also a way of managing progress in the appropriate manner.  \nUnforeseen obstacles are always a part of the project management process, and they can affect resources, time and quality. Therefore, the success of a project is closely linked to the team’s ability to plan, adjust and react to changing circumstances. Project Canvas is created in order to help all members of a team obtain a clear overview of a project. In other words: To be on the same page.  \nWHAT ISA PROJECT?  \nBefore explaining Project Canvas, let us establish the definition of a project.“A project” can indeed be manythings, from building a bridge to running a marathon. Projects can share many characteristics while still remaining unique. According to the Oxford Dictionary, a project is defined as:  \n“An individual or collaborative enterprise that is carefully planned to achieve a particular aim.“  \nIn the table we have provided a description of the main characteristics of projects. Each project has its own challenges. In order to control the progress of your project it is important to: form the right team, determine tasks and find the conditions to execute these tasks effectively.  \n\n| Characteristics | Descriptions |\n| --- | --- |\n| Projects are unique. | A project is unique because some factors will always be different, such as the environment, team and/or the result. |\n| Projects have specific end results. | A project is designed to solve one or more specific objectives ending up with a specific result. |\n| Projects have limited resources. | No projects have infinite resources, there are always time and budget restrictions. |\n| Projects introduce risks. | As a project is unique, it is unclear how the exact process will unfold. The project is not“business as usual”. |\n\nABOUT PROJECT CANVAS  \nProject Canvas is a tool that improves communication in project teams and provides a simplified project overview. Project Canvas is built on well known project methodologies including PRINCE2, PMI and Scrum.  \nTo keep the tool simple, Project Canvas is inspired by empirically tested visual tools such as the Business Model Canvas and the Game Plan. Project Canvas is developed by several experienced project managers who combine both academic research and practical use.  \nThis work has resulted in Project Canvas, which consists of 12 elements that altogether give you a complete overview of your project.  \nProject name   Project owner    \n\n| Purpose\u003Cbr>What is the intent of this project?
