Bringing Tech for Better back into the programme

Albadylic commented 3 years ago

Is there space to move the first 3 weeks of the curriculum into the pre-apprenticeships and running two projects at the end of the course.

All agreed to nominally move the first 3 weeks of the course into the pre-apprenticeship for FAC22. @Albadylic to lead on working out the details with @oliverjam.

Now that we have mapped the 3 weeks to the curriculum, @Albadylic 's next action is to map meeting PO's, Discovery and User Research to the first 6(?) weeks in preparation for TfB projects.

Relates to #468

I've had a look at this and here's what I think it looks like:

Week One (Node) - Introduction to Tech for Better
Week Two - Product Owner conversations
Week Three - Product Owner conversations
Week Four - Discovery Workshops
Week Five - Discovery Workshops
Week Six - Project selection

PO Convo's

60 minute session in which we invite 6 prospective Product Owners. Developers are split into pairs and we run round of lightning introductions. They speak to a PO for 10 mins, swap rooms, meet another PO, swap rooms, final PO. Each pair meet 3 PO's in total. After the lightning introductions, the Product Owner pitches their idea to the whole room (in 2 mins or less).

Timings are something like this:

Intro to the evening (10 mins)
Conversations (10 mins x 3)
Lightning Pitch (12 mins)

There's a decent bit of wiggle room for swapping rooms, questions, pitches running over.

Discovery Workshops

We run a 90 minute Discovery workshop with 4 Product Owners and developers in trio's. Ideally we have a facilitator in each room, at least for the first week.

The Product Owner leaves with a research script and is asked to conduct research with their users.

Project Selection

Each team of four (these should be decided before the course starts, as with FAC21) comes up with a shortlist of projects they'd like to work on (3 projects). From this information, what @Albadylic has observed of the PO, and whether they do their User Research, @Albadylic assigns projects to teams.
