• Calculate Relative ROI for each canvas. Write it on
each canvas
• ROI = Value / Cost
• Sequence projects based on ROI (high to low)
• Consider Cost of Delay profile: does this change
the sequence?

Optional: limit number per stakeholder
2. Review & validate canvases for completeness &
understanding - ahead of time

neutral facilitator
4. Brief “sales pitch” for each project, based on the canvas

point value. Can shift up/down later if necessary.
