Design conscious Human-AI balance in your team. 7-block framework for 90-minute workshop.
The MVH (Minimum Viable Human) Agreement Canvas is a practical 90-minute workshop tool that helps teams consciously design the balance between AI automation and human interaction.
Based on the Management 3.0 MVH concept, this canvas guides teams through 7 structured blocks to answer: "What do we want to keep alive when implementing AI?"
Who Is It For?
Product teams implementing AI agents and automation
Engineering leaders balancing efficiency with innovation
Scrum Masters & Agile Coaches facilitating team discussions
CTOs & Tech Leaders designing team culture in the AI era
Remote and distributed teams (3-12 members) in tech or knowledge work
Perfect for teams already using AI tools or planning to implement them.
What Problems Does It Solve?
Prevents "accidental automation" — stops teams from losing creativity and connection without realizing it
Creates shared understanding — aligns team on what to automate, what to collaborate on, and what stays purely human
Protects innovation — ensures teams maintain the "open mode" (playful, exploratory) alongside efficiency
Reduces AI implementation chaos — provides structure for conscious decision-making
Monitors balance — establishes metrics to track both efficiency gains and team aliveness
Generates concrete actions — ends with clear implementation plan, not just discussion
Key Benefits
Conscious design over accidental automation
Protects team aliveness whilst gaining efficiency
Clear criteria for delegation decisions
Balanced approach (not anti-AI, not anti-human)
Actionable outcomes in just 90 minutes
