PO3 Canvas (English)
The abbreviation PO3 stands for "Purpose, Objectives, Outputs, Outcomes". The purpose answers the question: How does the successful action affect the organization? It should be related to the topic and contain the "what" and "why", e.g. get many perspectives, involve people, etc. The objectives describe what should be achieved in the planned time in order to fulfill the purpose. Outputs are physically tangible or can be saved virtually to achieve the stated goals in the planned time. Outcomes are not physically tangible, but noticeable effects that arise from what has been worked out - e.g. better knowledge of the other perspective, motivation for the project, commitment to decisions, etc.
