Canvas 101
A free INNOQ primer presenting seven practical one-pagers (canvases) for IT projects, from business models to architecture and team collaboration.
A canvas turns a complex topic into a single structured page: business models, use cases, requirements, architectures, operational aspects, team work. This free INNOQ primer (February 2025) presents seven one-pagers that have proven themselves in demanding IT projects, with concise guidance on when and how to use each.
The seven canvases
- Business Model Canvas — the classic for business models.
- Architecture Inception Canvas — a starting point for IT projects, from requirements to first solution ideas.
- Architecture Communication Canvas — compact architecture documentation, based on arc42.
- Software Analytics Canvas — structured, data-driven analysis of software systems.
