Success Criteria Canvas

Design Thinking Toolkit Series  | May 6th, 2019

A Success Criteria Canvas is a visual tool used to define and articulate the goals and objectives of a project, initiative, or product. It helps to ensure that everyone involved has a clear understanding of what success looks like and what needs to be achieved. The canvas consists of several sections, including the project vision, success factors, success indicators, and success metrics. The vision section defines the overarching goal of the project or product, while the success factors section outlines the key components that need to be in place for the project or product to be considered successful. The success indicators section defines specific, measurable signs that the project or product is on track to meet the success criteria, and the success metrics section outlines how success will be measured and tracked over time. The Success Criteria Canvas is a useful tool for aligning stakeholders, managing expectations, and tracking progress towards desired outcomes.
