Workshop planning canvas
This workshop planning canvas structures a cross-functional feature prioritization session. The purpose is explicit: choose next quarter's priorities using customer evidence, not simply collect opinions. The participant section includes the functions affected by the decision as well as a facilitator and decision owner. The agenda moves from evidence to scoring, discussion and a final check on agreement or dissent. The output is more than a ranked list; it records the rationale and identifies who will communicate the decisions and take the next actions. Teams can adapt the fields for different workshops, but a clear decision and accountable follow-up should remain central.
