I’ve been publishing fully formed essays lately, and I thought I’d pause to share a half-baked idea, to invite my readers to help bake it.
Recently I published A Unified Theory for the Design of Just About Anything. I’m working through a longer piece on applying this to software/web, and while I was writing about Context, I realized a Context Canvas would be a useful tool.
Canvases are living documents you place on the wall of your team workplace to create a shared context. They are amended and updated as the team knowledge grows.
Below is a second draft of a Context Canvas for Product Design and Management. it’s been through one iteration after and early test.
If you use it, please leave a comment on how it worked for you!
