Summary
This proposal outlines the development of a Grant Progress Tracking Dashboard for Compound, designed to provide the community with a transparent, user-friendly platform for monitoring the progress of funded proposals. The tracker will offer detailed milestone tracking, real-time updates, and automated alerts for deviations or delays. The goal is to offer unified access to all past and active grants along with their statuses.
Problem Statement
Currently, tracking the progress of Compound’s grant proposals is fragmented, with updates scattered across various update posts and channels. This lack of cohesion hinders the community’s ability to effectively oversee projects, evaluate progress, and address potential issues promptly.
Proposed Solution
To overcome these challenges, we propose the development of a Grant Progress Tracker equipped with the following features:
- Milestone Tracking: Dedicated pages for each grant, displaying key milestones, progress indicators (e.g., progress bars, percentages), and completion status.
- Real-time Updates: Timely updates on milestone completion and overall project progress.
- Automated Alerts: Notifications for overdue milestones or significant deviations from the grant scope, delivered via in-app notifications and email.
- Visualizations: Charts and graphs to provide a visual representation of project progress and trends.
Development Plan & Budget
Milestone 1: UI/UX Design & Feedback (1 week)
Cost: $500 USD
- Develop wireframes for key pages:
- Grant Overview Page: Displays all grants with status indicators (e.g., “On Track,” “Delayed,” “Completed”).
- Individual Grant Pages: Show detailed milestone progress, timelines, and completion percentages.
Milestone 2: Frontend Development (1 week)
Cost: $1,000 USD
- Build a responsive frontend optimized for desktop and mobile.
Milestone 3: Backend Development & Finalization (2 weeks)
Cost: $1,500 USD
- Develop backend functionality for milestone updates, progress tracking, and alerts.
- Implement milestone tracking with progress indicators (e.g., bars, percentages).
- Enable real-time updates for completion and deadlines.
Total Cost: $3,000 USD
Benefits to the Compound Community
- Enhanced Transparency: Clear visibility into grant progress and milestones.
- Improved Accountability: Encourages grant recipients to stay on track and meet deadlines.
- Increased Community Engagement: A unified platform fosters community involvement and participation.
- Efficient Issue Resolution: Early detection of delays enables timely intervention and resolution.
By providing a user-friendly platform for tracking grant progress, this proposal will strengthen accountability in the Compound community and ensure the successful execution of grant-funded projects.
