DoView Planning
See. Plan. Do.
Get strategy out of people’s heads and into a DoView Board. A free, AI-built outcomes-based planning board that all parties use, from strategy through to delivery.
WHAT
One shared visual source of truth for an organization or initiative: planning, delivery, measurement, evaluation and reporting in one place. For larger organizations or initiatives, it sits above your project tools, holding the high-level outcomes logic while they hold the task detail.
A DoView is the visual model of your strategy. A DoView Board is the free app that holds it, and adds projects, measures, evidence and reporting.
OPEN A LIVE BOARD
When you open the board, you will see a clean version of it. Click on Page View > Select All on different pages to see what else it contains. For an even cleaner version, click on Presentation View, top right.
Experiment freely, it’s a working demo: add traffic lights, drag links between This-Then pages If you want an empty board to play with Use Create and Save Empty New Board.
WHY
Outcomes-first — starts with what you're trying to achieve, then shows how projects, measures and evidence line up behind it.
One source of truth — one shared model instead of scattered docs, slides, spreadsheets and dashboards.
Built by AI in minutes — paste the free prompt into ChatGPT or Claude, describe your initiative, open the board as a normal web page.
More efficient — a single board carries you through strategy, prioritisation, contracting, delivery, measurement and reporting, answering the 20 key questions any initiative must answer.
YOURS TO USE
Free and open — the DoView Boards app is an open-source project, free for anyone to use.
It's a collaboration — DoView is a forward-looking, open project as much as a methodology, not a closed vendor product.
Use it any way you like — consult with it, train others, or get a developer to build DoView Boards into your own apps, platforms and AI tools, all with no license fee. Just call what you make DoView Boards and acknowledge DoView. But please don't imply our endorsement unless we have officially endorsed your use.
Build with us — business and government strategists, and especially AI and software teams building planning tools, are welcome to collaborate or get in touch for help putting DoView to work or integrating it into your systems.
SOUND METHODOLOGY
