Obsidian Canvas' ability to display the full contents of notes, combined with the Dataview Obsidian plugin, is incredibly powerful: my projects have a folder note with a standard template. This includes this bit of dataview:
TASK
WHERE contains(file.folder, this.file.folder)
WHERE !completed
GROUP BY file.link
This includes any markdown to do item in that project's directory, grouped by file. It's handy for having "outstanding questions", "action items" from meetings, etc.
So, if you make a canvas of your projects (using their folder note) as a sort of ersatz roadmap, not only do you have a visualization of each project (including the goal: a project without a goal is a hobby), but you can also scroll down and see the outstanding to do list items.
