Detailed Plan
Project Catalyst is an amazing tool for funding projects and networking, but many of us know how difficult it is to get started. If there was a tool that guided new entrepreneurs through the entire process - from the moment of creating an idea, to the execution of your funded proposal - then it would be much more appealing. The best way to accomplish this is through "visual work routines".
A routine is the process for completing a specific task. A work routine completes productive tasks, such as creating a business outline, deciding on a budget, and generating a proposal. A visual work routine is an interactive tool that guides users through the process of completing a task, with descriptions and guides along every step of the way. By combining visual work routines, we as a community can converge on an optimal routine that's designed for the entire entrepreneurship process. Vrooli is an open-source project set out to make this vision a reality.
Defining Success
This proposal is for the Minimum Viable Product (MVP) of Vrooli, which is a website with the following features:
- Creating and editing routines
- Commenting and voting on routines
- Viewing and stepping through routines in an intuitive way
