This handdrawn canvas using the metaphor of a tree is perfect for discussions around growth or harvesting. It offers an engaging and fun way to get a team reflecting on their performance and planning for the future. It helps ensure that everyone gets heard and alignment is created.

When to Use the Canvas?

As a leader or facilitator there are key moments in a team's journey when alignment, reflection and regrouping are required. Use this canvas at these touch points. This may be at a project launch or can be scheduled periodically to support moving from forming, storming, norming and performing (Bruce Tuckman's team development model) or when you notice team behaviors require an intervention.

Some specific examples of when you could use this canvas include:

• organizational/team development scoping

• team retrospective

• project review

• learning goals and targets

Why Use It?

Because handdrawn elements bring a whimsical and fun energy into work, and who couldn't use more of that on a day to day basis?! Plus no one ever complained of too much alignment or shared understanding in a team.
