The Cardano Beyond MVG Workshop Template is designed to support structured governance workshops that collect lived-experience insights about how Cardano’s on-chain governance system (as defined in CIP-1694) is functioning in practice.
The Beyond Minimum Viable Governance (MVG) project is a community-focused initiative that uses a structured, data-driven approach to guide the continuous improvement of Cardano's governance system.
Beyond MVG recognizes that effective governance is not achieved by structures alone, but through ongoing refinement informed by community experience, objective measurement, and practical process improvements. This workshop operationalizes that approach by creating a structured space where governance participants contribute insights that directly inform how governance performance is understood, measured, and improved.
The template supports the Beyond MVG project by helping facilitators gather evidence-based observations that can be synthesised into governance improvements, metric refinement, and future CPS or CIP proposals.
