challenges on them? What happens if

nothing changes?


Vision What do you envision for your project?

1. What would be the ideal resolution to the

identified root challenge addressed in the

Motivation Statement?

2. What benefits / added value does the

solution promise? 3. Who / What benefits

from the solution?


Project What do you want to accomplish?

mean to you?


Do you know your MVP?

PASSION comes from feeling like you are a part of something that you believe in, something bigger than yourself.

BUT


For passion to survive, it needs STRUCTURE.

A WHY without the HOW’s,

passion without structure, has a very high

probability of failure.
