Research Project Model Canvas

摘要

This work presents a proposal of a visual tool to assist the creation of academic research projects, dissertations and theses. Its metrics are based on business and management success cases. In the creation and management of projects in teams are used visual strategies to present and record the parameters involved in the scope of the project through a screen, which can be composed of a frame with predefined fields or connection lines forming a flowchart. There are tools that can provide researchers with the conditions to view isolated parts of the project as bibliographic references only or correlation nodes between keywords, then it becomes necessary to create a strategy that enables the creator of the project and the team involved to visualize the essence of the project in the eminence of being created and to predict needs, failures, objectives as well as to restructure the project to adapt the research conditions. This strategy has the form of a framework, called Research Project Model Canvas with fields defined according to the needs of creating a research project, and its tables are organized in a logical order of reading, presentation and connection between each one.
