Yay! With this card you can complete the entire right half of the poster! Did is say yay?
Card number 9 in my series of 16 Project World Collectable Cards is titled "How do we get there?"
The Adventure Map - How do we get there?
You might have a good idea about how to reach X. Getting from point A to C goes mostly through B.
The Adventure Map is the basic map for your Big Adventure. It describes the steps you have to take to reach The X.
The map reflects the storyline of the project. The episodes of the project life cycle. The glory days of starting the project. The period in which the project was under attack by vicious stakeholders.
Draw an X on a piece of paper or white board. Draw a curved line that represents your path.
Discuss with the ragtag crew how you go from now to The X. What are the steps you need to take and in what sequence? And who will perform those steps?
If you have no idea, draw a gray swamp.
Prologue - Big Adventure - Legacy
If you look very carefully you can read on the adventure map on the card the words Prologue - Big Adventure - Legacy. For those who love phases, and wonder why there aren't any phases ("we neeeeeeeeed phases!") ... here yah go!
Rock on.
Location of this card on the overall map:
I am creating the most awesome poster that ever existed about projects: Your Big Adventure. :) I started to make cards about different things you do in projects. There are a total of 16 that together make an incredible poster.
