Track spending, project impact, and deliverables — all in one place, with full transparency and real-time insights.
TL;DR
This proposal outlines the development of a comprehensive Project Progress Tracking Dashboard for GoodDollar-funded initiatives. The platform will empower the community with a transparent, user-friendly tool to monitor the progress of all DAO-supported projects—whether grants, bounties, core team efforts, or ecosystem collaborations. Featuring milestone tracking, real-time updates, risk detection, and automated alerts, the platform aims to unify oversight across all active and historical projects. The total estimated cost is $2,999 for 12 months.
Motivation
Currently, tracking GoodDollar’s funded projects is decentralized across forum threads, community calls, Discord updates, and other platforms. This scattered structure limits the DAO’s ability to maintain holistic oversight, quickly detect issues, and communicate progress clearly to the community.
Rationale
To improve transparency and coordination, we propose building a Project Progress Tracker tailored to GoodDollar’s governance workflows and evolving funding mechanisms:
- Milestone Tracking: Individual project pages with clear milestones, progress bars, percentage complete, and delivery status.
- Real-time Updates: Continuous updates from builders on deliverables and timelines.
- Automated Alerts: In-app and email notifications for delays, unmet milestones, or scope changes.
- Visualizations: Interactive dashboards with timelines, risk levels, funding breakdowns, and achievement highlights.
- Risk Detection: Smart analytics to flag early indicators of stagnation, misalignment, or misuse of resources.
Project Overview Features
- Project List View: Summary table with completion rates, risk scores, and last reported updates.
- Filterable Dashboards: Sort and view projects by type, steward, risk level, or status.
Risk Assessments:
- Data-informed risk scores and visual flags
- Health indicators showing which projects may need intervention
Project Detail Pages
- Milestones & deliverables
- Funding history & current status
- Linked community conversations (GoodDollar Forum, GitHub, Discord)
Organization and Admin Tools
- Admin access for GoodDollar stewards or committee members
- Configurable alerts and filters for oversight and reporting
- Role-based views for public users, contributors, and admins
Project Scope & Cost Breakdown
The MVP is scoped at $2,999 for a 12-month period, covering full development, integration, and platform maintenance. This includes:
- Public-facing project dashboard
- Risk detection and alerting engine
- Admin and role-based controls
- Community discussion links and integrations
- Reporting tools for independent assessment
Benefits to the GoodDollar Community
- Transparency: Clear, centralized project visibility for all stakeholders.
- Accountability: Tools to ensure funded contributors meet expectations and timelines.
- Community Engagement: Encourages feedback, collaboration, and trust through open updates.
- Proactive Intervention: Surfaces issues early so stewards and the community can take action.
By offering a unified and transparent way to track GoodDollar’s project portfolio, this platform will support better decision-making, improve community trust, and increase the impact of every funded initiative. It can be embedded directly into GoodDollar’s governance forum or ecosystem site for easy access.
