Project Proposal Timeline
Closed this issue · 1 comments
It appears that in the past...
For a project to qualify for the Project Pairing process they must have an outline of their proposal approved by a Coordinator or mentor. This outline must be approved by a Coordinator or mentor 48 hours before the Project Pairing process.
...according to a commented section in the Handbook. This is different to our current timeline of having a team first work on a proposal after project pairing.
Our current method doesn't have us check the projects for viability or reasonableness (is that a word?) and allows any project to get through... Do we want to return to the old way of requiring a proposal outline from the very start? Or is our Google Form with the questions about the project name/tech stack/etc. good enough?
So we decided to open this up at the start of the semester and look at them before Project Pairing in order to point out any obvious issues. Because we're going to have a Build-a-Project Workshop before pitching, it should mitigate any major project proposal issues.
