Concept guide · HTML + plain text

Scope a useful skills project.

Eight prompts to agree a manageable contribution, support the person doing it and keep the learning afterwards.

An original guide for the Reach × Inkfire prototype. Not an official Reach policy or a resource from a completed placement.

  1. Agree the useful outcome

    Write one sentence describing what will be different when the project is finished. Name what is outside the scope.

  2. Keep the work manageable

    Estimate the total hours and agree a flexible finish date. Make room for breaks and changes in availability.

  3. Name a contact

    Say who answers questions, reviews the work and helps remove blockers.

  4. Agree how to communicate

    Offer written instructions and accessible calls where needed. Ask what works; do not ask for a diagnosis.

  5. Prepare materials safely

    Provide only the access and sample material the project needs. Agree how private information will be handled.

  6. Check the content

    Use clear headings, descriptive links and useful alternative text. Check the result with the people who will use it.

  7. Review and record

    Agree what completion looks like. Record the contribution and offer specific feedback or a reference.

  8. Choose what can be shared

    Ask separately about publishing a story, identifying people and sharing project outputs. Agree reuse permission before publication.
