Project scope
What is the main goal for this project?

Our organization can offer a virtual opportunity for 1-3 computer science, application students or teams.

The primary focus for the student(s) will be: to execute during the placement, as exemplified below. Where applicable, we will work with the students to select the tools/platforms they will be using to complete their work.

Create a dashboard type platform where we can manage our programs/projects and view current projects at a glance in summary format. Intuitive Project Management Application (web component) where users at various stages in the project can access details such as milestones, upcoming tasks and deliverables. You will work to finalize Front end and Back end of the beta iOS and Android app.

We hope to be in a stage where our Startups and Community users can use it to the potential to gain benefits to better manage their non-profit work. The beta app is expected to have the following functions.

  • Application Development - Selecting the best technologies for creating the application or feature (i.e. a real-time chat function); creating a fully-functioning application.

Our goal at the end of this experience is:

Application Development to:

1. Log-in: Secure platform, validate User ID/email

2. Verification: Password – note, I do not want to save nor manage user password – we will need to determine levels of compliance

3. Multiple user types with different needs – we can have levels of users

4. Communication on the platform among users via direct correspondence(private) or group chat opportunities similar to “slack/trello” without crowding their inbox.

5. Ability to share content with team members.

6. Engagement reporting.

7. Using calendar-related features – set up meetings

8. Milestone reminders.

9. Lead/Owner Manager Platform Dashboard – rights management to other users

Other duties the student may complete could include:

  • Software vendor research and evaluation
  • Assisting with other process improvement projects
  • Unit and integration testing
  • Build Platform (Front & Back End)

We will plan to communicate with our virtual intern using these communication tools: Riipen messaging, zoom, email, Teams
