About MethodKit for Projects

We created this kit to make project work clearer, for you and your team. It’s hard to keep everything in mind, and even harder to make sure everyone’s on the same page. That’s where MethodKit for Projects comes in. Whether you’re planning, prioritizing, mapping or stuck mid-process, the cards help you zoom out and see the bigger picture. We use them ourselves when developing new tools, and we keep coming back to them. The deck includes 56 illustrated cards, each representing a key aspect of project work, like Vision, Budget, Risks, Goals, or Stakeholders. Use them to clarify ideas, structure your thinking, and guide meaningful conversations.

 

The Cards

Each card helps you think about projects from a new angle.
They are deliberately simple, to not distract you from what’s really important, your ideas & projects.
