This column is for ideas that are being pitched to the group of Code for Denver at one of our Pitch nights (first Monday of the Month)

  • Make a 3 minutes or shorter presentation to the group.
    -Problem statement
  • Why is it worth solving
  • Why is it a fit for CfD
  • Additional context (deadlines, etc)

Exit Criteria for moving to Exploration Stage:

  • Move card to Pitches/Presentation list in waffle if you are presenting tonight
  • Present to group (3 min limit)
  • Group Q&A
  • Initial vote on whether ready for Exploration Phase.
    • Cards that are voted ready should get "Pitched - Accepted" label
    • One Pomodoro for further discussion around any cards that were not determined quite ready for Exploration. Presenter should be ready to discuss, answer any questions, and revise pitch.
    • Quick update after pomodoro from presenters
  • Group determines next step in final vote:
    a) Idea needs more development (card is moved back to Ideas list with label “Needs development”
    c) Idea is accepted but group doesn’t have resources to take on right now (card stays in pitch column with label “Pitched - Accepted”)
    d) Idea is accepted and group is ready to take on
  • If outcome D is determined:
    • a) Identify project champion
    • b) Create project waffle board from Project Bootstrapper
  • If the above steps cannot be completed, then the project outcome should actually be C above, and project card stays in Pitches list with label “Pitched - Accepted”
