Overview

COVESA's Project launch process is intended to be simple with low administrative overhead.  The goal is make it easy for members to launch and engage in new Projects and Birds of a Feather groups that are interesting them and the community.   COVESA will facilitate and help with recruitment, but it is incumbent on members to define and lead Projects.

Process

1. Member has a new idea or need (tech or business) or wants to expand an existing Project.
2. Member summarizes idea in a summary "1 pager" document that includes what it is and why it matters and submits it to COVESA Community Director.
3. Member and community director present to and recruit community for participation/collaboration.
4. Project Lead, community and Community Director collaborate to write a charter that further defines value to the community, scope, deliverables and timeline.
5. Project lLead, community and community directory establish regular meeting cadence (usually weekly or bi-weekly) to progress the Project.
