Accomplishment Summaries

[kcoronel]

Overview

We need to write brief summaries of project accomplishments for each year of the project's life, to go on the website's accomplishments page.

Action Items

• Review the accomplishments on resource 1.02 to see how they are worded, and note the following: Accomplishments on the Hack for LA website are:
  • readable even if you don't know anything about the project
  • short
  • clearly articulated achievements that funders would care about
  • list partners if available
• Find and review all previous onesheets
  • Find all the one sheets (check Project's Google Drive resource 1.03) and link the folder to resource 1.04.03. If there are multiple folders, create 1.04.03.01, 1.04.03.02, etc. indented under 1.04.03)
  • Review all previous project onesheet drafts under 1.04 (including edit history)
• Search the project's repo for any accomplishment issues, add any links you find to a comment

2021
In late 2021, CTJ embarked on its journey, laying the groundwork for a transformative platform to help prospective Hack for LA volunteers find interdisciplinary projects that will be useful for their career development while contributing to positive civic impact.

2022
CTJ initiated user research, conducting insightful interviews with key stakeholders aka our volunteers to shape platform development. The team advanced the site's design and development, aiming to create a high-quality, user-friendly platform.

2023
CTJ successfully launched the project landing page and a visually engaging "coming soon" page to generate early interest and build anticipation for the full platform launch. To further support our volunteers' career development, our product stakeholder requested a new requirement in the form of a Skills Matrix. This dynamic Matrix would help volunteers assess their skills throughout their Hack for LA journey.

2024
CTJ is excited to announce that we have a concrete plan for the MVP of our product! We are collaborating with the entire organization to align our documentation with open source practices. Congratulations to our team members who have taken on leadership roles! We look forward to a successful launch in Q4 2025.
