CSD Matrix: Framework and Template for Shared Understanding
- A CSD matrix is a tool for categorizing project information into certainties, suppositions, and doubts.
- It helps teams align their understanding of project challenges, problems, and opportunities.
- The matrix consists of three columns: Certainties, Suppositions, and Doubts.
- Certainties represent what is known about the project, including user needs and organizational factors.
- Suppositions are hypotheses or assumptions that the team has about the project.
- Doubts are areas where the team lacks knowledge or information.
- The matrix can be created using digital or physical sticky notes or bullet points.
- It is a visual tool that allows teams to track their progress and identify areas that need further investigation.
- Templates for creating CSD matrices are available to help teams get started with this tool.
