How to make things with other people

Find some people and decide what to make.

Why are we here? What are we trying to make? What are we not trying to make?

Understanding the size, shape, and nature of the challenge as a group early on will help down the road.

Formulate a plan to bring your idea come to life.

How are things going to come togehter? Success is often a result of nimble plans and just enough structure to keep things moving. Small goals, big outcomes, and inevitable hurdles are all managed through agreed upon plans and collaboration.

Get to work!

We're making a thing! Clear communication and milestones will help your shared vision come to life in the busy zone between idea and delivery. Keep your north star close - know where you're going!

Adjust your plan when you need to.

Uh oh - real life conditions have impacted your plan! Fret not - you're ready for this and can adjust as needed.

It's a real thing now!

Stand back and admire your work.

Truth be told there are many other tiny steps, setbacks, aha! moments, and conversations to be had in making things, and that's where the fun is.
