Improve a project's visibility to the community
As a project lead, I want to increase my project visibility, so that my project has an increased chance of success.
| Score | Description |
|---|---|
| 0 | Project has little or no visibility in the community. |
| 1 | Team has identified and defined what "ideal" project visibility would look like1. |
| 2 | Team has developed and implemented an initial set of communication mechanisms2. |
| 3 | A communication plan has been developed and rolled out3. |
| 4 | An active social media presence has been established4. |
| 5 | Communication plan is reviewed by team on a regular basis and improvements and/or updates implemented and documented5. |
- One approach to this would be to work within the project team to research contemporary projects and create an "ideal plan" for project visibility. Team should define what constitutes "ideal."
- Identify and create an initial set of communication mechanisms, such as a website, wiki, blogs and contact mailing lists within a specified time frame.
- Develop and implement an actionable plan to publicize the project to the community (e.g. for a research community, through posters and research publications) within a specified time frame. The plan should be achievable by team.
- The team has defined how "active" a social media presence will be required (e.g. 1 tweet per day, 1 blog post per week, etc.)
- The communication plan may be revised as the requirements for "ideal" visibility shift.
