Notes and insights¶

Review your project vision¶

(10 min) [⏰ 70]

Last week you started to draft your vision statement to articulate your big idea, vision or dream that you want to achieve by working openly, and experiment with expressing your vision in a short format.
Review your vision statement:
- Is there any improvements can be made to make vision statement as clear as possible?
- Can jargons be removed to make it accessible? You can use Hemingway App or something similar to simplify your statement.
