About the Project Planner (Treehouse) Template
Bringing a creative project to life involves juggling big ideas, small details, and stakeholder expectations. Moving between documents, spreadsheets, and presentation software can create confusion and slow progress. The Project Planner (Treehouse) template brings all the essential pieces of your project into Miro’s collaborative innovation workspace, giving you a clear path from start to finish. It’s designed to help you and your team turn a complex vision into a well-defined, actionable plan.
How to use the Project Planner (Treehouse) template
Define your vision. Start with the Project Brief to establish your core goals and strategic objectives. Getting this down on paper ensures everyone understands the "why" behind the project from the beginning.
Outline your resources. Use the Materials List to itemize every component you'll need. The list is structured with columns for Item Description, Specifications, Quantity, Unit Cost, Total Cost, Category, and Notes. Detailing these fields helps you create a realistic budget and manage your resources effectively.
Track your workflow. Move your work through a visual workflow on the Task Board. For each task, add a Task Name, Description, and list any Materials Required. Update its Status as it moves through stages like "To Do," "In Progress," "Inspection/Quality Check," and "Complete," making it easy for the entire team to monitor progress in real time.
Get stakeholder buy-in. Use the Pitch Deck to present your vision, plan, and resource needs to key stakeholders. A compelling presentation helps you secure the support and approvals necessary to move forward.
