Here’s a sample of an Open Canvas created by Abby for Mozilla Science Lab’s Paper Badger Open Project. Here’s more about the Open Canvas tool from its creator, Abby Cabunoc Mayes, Developer Engagement Manager at the Mozilla Foundation. The content in the green square deals with project execution, the resources you need to build your product The blue dotted line separates your thinking around your product and your thinking about your community, to highlight that you need to think about both of these when making your plan. Here’s a sample of the Open Canvas template, with descriptions of the information required in each section.

You’re not starting from scratch here– you can use the vision statement from the previous section as a starting point. To make an Open Canvas, you’ll fill a one-page template with information about your project. What’s special about Open Canvas is that it assumes you’ll be working collaboratively with others– that your project is community-based and will be fueled by significant contributions from volunteers, one of the key principles of working open. It’s adapted from Lean Canvas, a one-page format used for describing a start-up business project. Open Canvas is a way of clarifying your project idea and encouraging you to think strategically about project goals, plans, and resources you’ll need. If you are working in a group, you can use a whiteboard and sticky notes so ideas can be easily shared with all members.
