Communicate Shared Agreements

After planning is complete, put together a project overview document that states your research goals, research questions, and any other guiding information your group needs to anchor the work. This is a landing page for the group. Over-communicate this document to the group. Pin it in your communication spaces if possible. You will return to the document as you move along your writing and publishing process.

Your document might include:

• Project goals / learning goals
• Research questions
• How we will work together
• Roster and contact information for group members
• Links to:
  • Meeting notes
  • Research and publication audiences
  • Communication spaces

When the project charter, draft timelines, and any other guiding documents you’ve decided to develop are complete, share them with the group. Reiterate your community agreements. Make sure everyone has access to the goals and group setup. A networked document is a great option for developing a landing page.
