Details

We'd like to use Notion.so to build a framework within our organization that will help to support the transfer of project information among our remote team members. Students will be asked to select ONE of the following challenges and to create it using the advanced features of Notion.so.

  1. OPTION ONE: Build a space for project management, processes and workflow to support a digital publishing company, with a cyclical schedule that supports content creation --> publication design --> release and promotion --> distribution/circulation/tracking.
  2. OPTION TWO: Build a portal that will provide extended support to the more contextual side of our Riipen projects. This will include a project management dashboard and briefing documents for the various projects we administer within the platform.
  3. OPTION THREE: Build a portal to manage both team members and independent contractors including the management of workflows between these individuals, including deadlines, and billables, etc.
Deliverables

Using Notion.so, students will:

  • Select one of the projects as outlined
  • Access to the internet and their own computer
  • An understanding in the use of Notion and some of its more advanced features including relational tables

**See the videos that have been provided for a more thorough understanding of what this project might look like.

Mentorship

We can support the students in a myriad of ways, including:

  • access to the Notion.so
  • guidance and direction and #realtalk discussions on the problems we are trying to solve through these builds
  • guidance and direction on where one might find some source materials for various workflow templates
  • providing students with as much autonomy and independence as they'd like to exercise as a part of this project
