Success Canvas® in practice

Ver documento

Detalhes bibliográficos
Resumo:In the past few years, canvas has been proved to be a valuable tool. Canvas are management tools characterized by presenting a visual template, that can be customized and applied according to a specific target, creating, or documenting theoretical structures to serve as support for addressing design problems or identifying relevant aspects in the context of an area. These frameworks are often systematized into conceptual boxes with the intent of guiding the user to gather and analyze critical information to achieve their objective and improve performance with transparency. In the Information Systems project management field, there are scarce studies that focus on practical cases using canvas as management tools, specifically examining project success. The Success Canvas® or Project Management Success Map®, is an exception since it captures the definition of success in a project and what is meaningful to accomplish it, considering, for example, the criteria for evaluating success, expected benefits, and success factors. Due to the lack of literature surrounding canvas and the ambiguous concept of success, especially when followed by project management, there is an opportunity to explore this topic by studying on the current state of the art regarding existing canvas in the information systems field, as well as the results that they have been showing in practice, to characterize the contribution of the Success Canvas® to improve project management. To conduct this study, it was adopted a Multiple Case Study methodology. This study contributes with new insights on the benefits of the practical usage of the Success Canvas®, as well as expanding the current literature.
