<aside> 💡 A kit that never gives complete answers but the questions to get on track.

</aside>

The questions of questions. We call this kit The Oracle for Projects. This is a very limited first (beta) edition (20 decks). The kit is released as a part of the Lab series where we experiment with different card formats that doesn’t fit under MethodKit for [...] or MethodKit with [...]. This kit will not be a part of the Encyclopedia.

The kit provides questions to use for whenever, from planning a project to gaining perspective on your own life.

How to use it

• Use random card to bring up new perspectives.
• They can be used to explore and help unfold aspects of different areas/fields.
• Used alone to discuss projects you are working on. Use it as a project coach. It can be used in project management as well as building visions and strategies.
• Use it together with MethodKit for Projects to get even more help to explore and deep dive into your project based on a validated and well researched framework.

So... who is the Oracle?

• The Oracle always asks questions (and sometimes mumbles).
• It is philosophic, sometimes random, sometimes on point.
• The Oracle is not objective. (It’s still wise…)
• Sometimes the voice is direct, sometimes dispersed.
• The questions that the Oracle poses can be asked in all walks of life, not only in projects.
• With the other kits, we worked hard on keeping our personal views & mental coloring out of the equation. The Oracle is here to be more personal, deep and opinionated.

<aside> 💡 The Oracle cards are made with colored icons and text on white, this to easier be able to use it together with other kits.

The kit is not a researched and verified framework as MethodKit for [...]. It still contains important questions and is more personal & philosophic and less controlled than the other kits.

History

Small pieces of the Oracle was included in the first kits we released 2012. Both MethodKit for Projects and for Personal Development contained three cards that was called Tips & trix. When version 3 of the kits was released, the old cards went away leaving space for a more scientific and complete idea of the frameworks that focused on the verified elements only. But the Oracle was still on our minds. The card Explain it to your grandmother, is probably the most photographed card of all our 1400+ cards, marking the importance of the Oracle. This release marks the return of the Oracle wildcards.
