The Takumi Method is a project management framework created by Junzo Hagimoto to make good planning replicable. It focuses on defining stakeholders and their values through several models, including the Stakeholders Model, Value Analysis Model, and Value Design Model. These models are meant to visualize stakeholders, values, and how the project fits with stakeholders' values. The goal is to make planning visible, debatable, and shareable by explicitly writing values and models down on paper.

6. So,
● The Takumi Method aims to make good planning replicable
● It does this via several models
● Which are based on defined stakeholders and defined values
● And explicitly written down as models so it is visible, debatable
and shareable.

7. What are values?
● Values is the underpinning concept in the Takumi Method
○ Surface value (design, functionality)
○ Deeper value (happiness, fun, sense of accomplishment)
○ The Takumi method expresses these values in positive and emotion
words (happy, attractive)
● Different stakeholders have different perceived values
○ What you see as value might not what I see as value
○ Values are dynamic: They change with time

8. 01 Values creates positive impact
to what a human being feels.

● Buying a condo between mother, father and daughter
● A small town public bath rejuvenation project by members of
the public
● An IT company project
● Design personal career paths

14. What I’ve Learned
1. Start validation or reasoning from the stakeholders and the
values to them
2. Focus should be on the intersection of
a. Stakeholder values
b. Project targets
3. Making intangible objects like values tangible by expressing it in
words and on paper is important
4. Values: It’s not something which is already there, but something
that you design
