General Guidelines

 * Triangle Leader or Scribe should create a wiki named **Triangle XXX - Creative Project**. [Example: TriangleName - Creative Project]
 * Creative Project Template - Use this template for emailing your project ideas. This wiki also includes a sample mini action plan.
 * On your main wikipage add a link to your Creative Project wiki. Remember, your main Triangle wiki should remain as concise as possible, use links to other pages as needed.
 * Include the following on your main Creative Project page (Hint: see templates for further example):
 * Budget of 10 hours.
 * State the project you are doing in one sentence.
 * Below the sentence post a paragraph of your project overview.
 * List your ball-park schedule of hours.
 * Follow this with your mini action plan.
 * At the bottom of your wiki, include an area for Action Items (for adding things needed from Steve to help with the project).
 * Please try to do something different from previous Triangles. Creativity is key.

** Days 10-20 **

 * Share this Creative Project Guideline link with Members and start brainstorming on your choice.
 * Create your wiki and add your proposals so it is ready when project is approved.

** Days 15-20 **

 * Email your Project ideas using the template to triangle@lifebushido.com.
 * Get additional feedback by sharing your Project ideas with other Triangle Leaders this month. Look on Join a Triangle wiki to locate or email triangle@lifebushido.com to get contact information.
 * The purpose of this is to encourage one another and work together on overlapping ideas. This is another way the Triangle process is used to help promote its vision and help one another.
 * After submitting your Creative Project Ideas, the Leader is REQUIRED to attend EITHER a Driver Call with Steve within 1-2 days or the Third Wednesday Triangle Call to discuss chosen project, ask for clarification or if you need additional information to get started on your Project.
 * Members are welcomed to attend call but it is not mandatory. After your call with Steve, Leader or Scribe is to update your Triangle wiki showing project information.
 * Remember to add your mini action plan.

**Days 20-30**

 * Project begins and is a work in progress
 * By Day 30 Project is completed, wiki is finalized with details and results.
 * By Day 30 a completion email with link to Triangle Creative Project wiki is sent to triangle@lifebushido.com!.

= Choosing Your Creative Projects =
 * Each Triangle should focus on something Lifebushido currently offers or follows the vision of Lifebushido.The concept is to expose people to what Lifebushido offers and what potential there is for scratch ideas.
 * Steve is open to either leveraging, sharing or improving a current Lifebushido item either Goalbushido, Unique Talents, [|Thank you Forward], etc., or something new.
 * This project should take the Triangle as a whole 10 hours. Hours do not have to be delegated but may be shared equally. You are not limited to 10 hours for your Project, just keep in mind this is a non-billable task. The more time you put in will not have a direct affect on if you are hired or not.
 * Thoughts & Ideas - Project...
 * brainstorming ideas starts on Day 10.
 * should be a group effort (not individual task) for Days 20-30, not lasting more than 10 days.
 * is allotted 10 hours total to complete.
 * focuses on sharing Lifebushido's vision with as many people as possible.
 * is a test of communication and marketing skills as a group.
