Sharpies Before Spreadsheets: Sketching Projects Before the Charter

Friday June 26, 2026 10:00am - 10:45am PDT

Zoom Meeting (Virtual)

Before the project charter is written and the milestones are mapped, great projects start with conversations about why. Project teams often jump straight to solutions and linear plans, but complex problems need space for exploration and storytelling. This session introduces simple visual techniques to sketch ideas, clarify purpose, and align stakeholders before the formal planning begins. Participants will leave with a pencil box of practical visual tools for pre-planning conversations.
