Herding cats – project management in g0v projects
abstract
Herding cats" is perfect to describe project management in an open source project contributed by quite independent developers.
Civic tech adds an extra layer of complexity because you need to understand the contexts of social issues, to collaborate with diverse stakeholders with intense interdisciplinary communication. However, the project usually only has unstable contributors with limited time following unclear project goals. That is when you need to consider some project management in your projects.
We would like to share our journeys on open source project management in civic tech–– how to identify user needs, how to brainstorm solutions, how to determine project's scope, how to make a feasible development plan and how to sustain the projects with open source communities.
We hope this talk would inspire more civic hackers develop their projects in open collaboration with less struggles.
The two cases shared in the talk are Disfactory, a reporting platform on illegal factory on farmland, and Rentea, a project trying to create alternative for living in urban area.
