We need a project manager for the WhenWeMeet MVP project. You will be managing a small team of students developing various aspects of this MVP. You will coordinate with the main project lead and team. You will be working closely with the whole team and the project manager.
The plan is to build in an iterative and agile way, demonstrating progress on a weekly basis over an 8 week duration. Onboarding a small group of dedicated trialists as we go. The whole development process will be very creative, exploratory, evolutionary and interactive with one to two Zoom calls per week. This WhenWeMeet MVP project will be the first phase and then we will have the WhenWeMeet Launch project to follow it in another 8 week stint.
Initially we will build user profiles and search functions. All data will be hosted in a Hasura instance, which will present the data as a GraphQL API. We will then build out the interface in the Kendraio framework (see below).
Requirements
- You will be building WhenWeMeet with the Kendraio framework (see below).
- Being able to work in a team is a must.
- Attention to detail is a must.
- You will need to have a little experience with Git code repository methodology. We use GitHub for our code.
- We will use Google Drive Docs and Sheets extensively. See the current WhenWeMeet folder.
- When you come to the interview make sure you have already signed up to Linear, GitHub, Google, LastPass, Hasura, Zoom, using your own Gmail/email address. You will need to tell us what this is.
- We will sign you up to our Slack channel.
Kendraio framework
Kendraio App is a low-code app environment that lends itself to rapid application development. Kendraio was created to service the creative/music industry to enable easy asset and rights management both locally and on third-party platforms. But what we've ended up creating is a generic data browser that plugs into remote APIs and enables highly configurable interfaces to be built. And we'll use this framework as the basis of this project. Please check out these links before accepting this mission: Kendraio App demo, Kendraio App on GitHub, Kendraio App documentation, Kendraio App website. As you create this project your feedback will influence the direction and capabilities of the Kendraio framework.
Wellbeing
This is a short and rapid project. Being able to flag difficulties quickly is vital for success. Team and individual wellbeing is paramount. We aim to have zero stress in this project by us all flagging potentially stressful situations early and quickly, and creating a relaxed and stress-free work environment.
Emotional awareness, emotional intelligence and authenticity: listening to our gut reactions and feelings will help us recognise when we are getting stressed. The intention is not to be a 'self help group' but to treat each member of the team as a human being with all the associated complexities of not being a robot! ;-)
