Project Notes - 07/12/2023

Introduction and Welcome

The meeting started with a welcome and a brief recap of the previous meetings' decisions and outcomes.

Revisit Product Vision and User Persona

A revisit of the product vision and user persona was conducted. This focused on identifying a Minimal Viable Product (MVP) that targets specific users. The ideal target for this MVP was identified as small to medium businesses in their growth phase and the education sector that need to track smart goals. An assessment of the product's alignment with these user personas was conducted and the potential for integration with platforms like Google was explored.

Discuss Best Practices in Product Design

Best practices in product design were covered, with the focus being on the development of an MVP and a minimal viable segment. An exploration of how the same product could be marketed to different sectors with minimal or no modifications was undertaken. Case studies of successful product designs were also examined to identify key factors contributing to their success.

Identify Goals for Product Design

Specific goals for product design were identified, with an emphasis on a high level of integration and adaptability. The main focus was the creation of a product that could be easily used and customized according to users' needs. Definitions of success for each goal were also discussed.

Break Down Goals into Tasks

The product design goals were broken down into specific, actionable tasks, taking into account the extensive development work required. These tasks were assigned based on expertise and the skills required for each task. The discussion also included researching and statistics tools, freelance project managers, and ways to improve productivity and efficiency.

Discussion on Tools and Resources

Tools and resources necessary for achieving the tasks and goals were examined. The potential of selling the API as a service was also discussed. A plan was established for acquiring necessary tools and resources, including the idea of using GitHub Projects for tracking progress and managing project issues.

Open Forum for Questions and Ideas

An open forum was conducted for questions and ideas related to product design and upcoming tasks. The potential use of a new language model similar to GPT-4 was considered. A feature to help users break down their goals into smaller, manageable tasks was suggested, possibly with a visual structure or hierarchy tree. Aspects of code management, such as managing code commits and using 'git' commands, were also discussed.

Summarize and Identify Next Steps

The main points of the meetings were summarized, including the need to address the 'unworkable goal' and improve organization and efficiency. A solution that integrates with other systems like Google or Outlook, keeping things simple and unified, was identified.

Scheduling of Next Meeting

The date and time for the next meeting were decided. The specific details were not specified in the provided notes. The main focus of the next meeting was shared.
