Alignment Map
What is it?
A visual collaborative tool to help you and your team understand how to work together on potential partnerships, prepare for getting started and highlight any potential risks or problems that may arise. The Alignment Map is something that people can use even after the meeting is over, to keep working on the project.
It’s best to use the Alignment Map at the beginning of the project, to make sure everyone in the team has a clear understanding of the partnerships. It’s particularly helpful on complex or challenging projects.
