Template:Project/Rapid/ReportIntro

From Meta, a Wikimedia project coordination wiki

You're about to create a new Rapid Grant report!

Thanks for bringing value back to the Wikimedia movement by sharing your experience with others. You can read other Rapid Grant reports here.

Step 1. Goals

Did you meet your goals? Are you happy with how the project went?

Step 2. Outcome

What is the most important and valuable result of your project? What did it change, solve or accomplish?

Please report on metrics required for Rapid Grants and your original project targets, use the below table to:

  • List each of your original targets from your project plan.
  • List the actual outcome that was achieved.
  • Explain how your outcome compares with the original target. Did you reach your targets? Why or why not?
Target outcome Achieved outcome Explanation

Note: Two rows for your table have been provided below. To add more rows for additional goals, just copy and paste another row template below these.

Optionally, you may also include a link to:

  • a blog post or a link to some other way you shared back with others about the results of your project
  • a learning pattern you create or endorse in order to share something you learned doing this project
  • a link to something that you and other participants created as a result of your project (Wikimedia content? infrastructure? other amazing things?)

Step 3. Learning

Projects do not always go according to plan. Sharing what you learned can help you and others plan similar projects in the future. Help the movement learn from your experience by answering the following questions:

  • What worked well?
  • What did not work so well?
  • What would you do differently next time?

Step 4. Grant funds used

Please describe how much grant money you spent for approved expenses, and tell us what you spent it on.

Step 5: Unused funds

If there are remaining funds, please list the amount here:

  • Let us know if you would like to use the remaining funds on a similar or new project. Remember, a grants officer must approve this request before you spend the money.

Step 6. Anything else?

Is there anything else you want to share about your project?

Step 7. Save your page

Press Save page and you've created your report. Thanks for helping forward the Wikimedia mission!
