Stage Checklists

> Complete checklists for each stage in process before moving forhttps://github.com/codefordenver/projects/issues/52ward
### Idea Phase (pre-pitch)
- [x ] Have an idea/problem
- [ x] Complete initial validation checklist:
- [ x] Focused on helping the community
- [ x] We work **"with"** not **"for"**
- [ x] Projects that are reusable
- [x ] **Not illegal**
- [x ] **Not promoting a particular political party or religious group**
- [ x] **Not antagonistic to government**
- [x ] **Not "free work"**
- [ x] Fill out top of this card with problem statement, why, etc.
- [ x] Coordinate with CfD member to get pitch on agenda for pitch night (first Monday of the month)
### Pitching Phase
- [ x] Move card to Pitches/Presentation list in waffle if you are presenting tonight
- [ x] Present to group (3 min limit)
- [ x] Group Q&A (3 min - if there is additional questions that can happen in the follow up pomodoro)
- [x x 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”
- b) Idea is accepted but group doesn’t have resources to take on right now (card stays in pitch column with label “Pitched - Accepted”)
- c) Idea is accepted and group has the capacity to take on (ie, the team is under the WIP limit for taking on projects)
- If outcome c) 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 B above, and project card stays in Pitches list with label “Pitched - Accepted”
### Exploration Phase

This phase involves no actual building (e.g. programming), and requires you have a project champion
- [ ] Create new project repo and waffle board with: https://cfd-new.herokuapp.com/
- [ x] Follow pre-populated waffle board steps to:
- [x ] Validate the problem is worth solving, and hasn't already been addressed
- [ x] Discover and connect with your users
- [ x] Connect with experts and partners
- [ x] Brainstorm solutions
- [ x] Paper prototype
- [ x] Validate paper prototype design is actually useful
- [ x] Define a testable MVP
- [ x] Prepare a pitch for Active Development
- [ x] Identify project tech lead (if applicable)
- The pitch acceptance process to move into `Active Development` is the same as for the [Pitching Phase](#pitching-phase)
### Active Development Phase

Active development is where a team invests in developing an minimum viable product (MVP), and then based on the feedback iterates and continues development.
