Project scope
What is the main goal for this project?

We are looking for students to play a role as the scrum team's project manager. A student in this position will understand the logistical aspects of the scrum team's projects based on information and mentorship from the We Write Stories team.

We're looking for students interested in project managing the process of creating a book for a client from the onboarding to the finished product.

Our main products provide a transformational experience for our clients while we create a book together. The client never puts pen to paper as we write the book. Consequently, many steps are needed to create something from nothing.

  • Students in this position will be provided all necessary material, information, and access to software to overlook the scrum team's book project through a logistical lens.
  • Students will help ensure the project's timelines are met by checking in with authors directly and communicating with the team.
  • The student will play a key role in helping create a more efficient work process.
What tasks will learners need to complete to achieve the project goal?

Students will join a project team and oversee the moving parts that make up our process. This includes but is not limited to:

  • Communicating with the client to ensure their ongoing schedule aligns with ours;
  • That our milestones are on course and any hurdles are mitigated through effective communication;
  • Following up with team members to ensure they have what they need and are on track to submit their deliverables on time and adjusting overall timelines as needed;
  • Making sure audio assets are transcribed and provided to team members;
  • Organizing digital assets;
  • Ensuring client feedback is provided on time;
  • Getting the manuscript to the editors;
  • Providing the design team with the completed manuscript.
How will you support learners in completing the project?

We have weekly project calls, team calls, and one-on-one calls with students. We provide feedback, mentoring, and a supportive environment that promotes creativity and personal growth.
