La Carte Blanche: Printable Project Definition Card
Starting a project without everyone aligned on a clear definition of the project, is one of the fastest ways to go full chaos. To avoid this, I designed La Carte Blanche, a printable A6 with 6 strategic questions to ask, before the project even starts. The goal: get people to think about why they want to build this, who the users are, and what value it will bring to them. And make sure everyone agrees on the answers.
Fill it solo, with a client, or run a small workshop with your team. Use it to align on project scope, user needs, and success metrics from day one. The card works for digital products, services, websites, apps, internal tools, and more.
