Intro
This is the tidy and bare-bones version of the initial questions framework from the 2012-13 GRAND Assessment Framework . The framework starts with the assumption that the group research project involves practical game design, and continues by attempting to ask the most significant over-arching questions.
Stakeholders
- Who are the stakeholders in this project?
- ethical
- financial
- institutional
- personal
Expectations
What are the minimum commitments to be met for this project to be considered practical, ethical, and academic research from the perspective of external sponsoring stakeholders?
- What needs to be documented?
- What needs to be practically implemented?
- What deadlines need to be met?
- What ethical standard does the sponsoring stakeholder expect the project to adhere to?
What are the expectations of the project's internal formal or informal contracts?
- how are contractual obligations decided?
- who can be involved in the project?
- how can work contributed to the project be used?
- what kinds of agreements can be made on behalf of the group?
- how are decisions about using resources made?
- how are research goals set?
- how are conflicts about decisions resolved?
- how are timelines decided/updated?
Resources
known resources
- What is the amount of time allotted for completion?
- What is the total budget?
- How many team members are there?
- How many hours can team members contribute within the allotted time?
- What skills do group members already have?
- What technology does the group already own?
anticipated resources
- What time might be gained/lost?
- What team members might be gained/lost?
- What skills might be gained/lost?
- What tools might be purchased/become obsolete?
