As a NSF team member, I want research assets to accompany final design deliverables so that I can educate internal teams on design direction and thinking.

Acceptance criteria

• Outline research methodology in a comprehensive and easy to understand pitch deck designed for senior management team to create alignment, buy in and, serve as a usage guide
• Deck contains information on:
• What principles are,
• What they do
• How we used research to get to them
• Selling points / Why they're important
• Answer the question "Are principles how NSF views itself or how it views its website?"
• Answer the question "Are the principles: Internal or external?"
• (Amanda says internal only)
• (Idea: internal at first, then make it external)
• Contains a pros and cons list. Possible pros/cons ideas:
• Con: fear of high standard of accountability
• Pros: transparency, design beacon, other agencies do it.
• What are the frequency of updates: 1 yr? 2yrs?
• How do we educate and inspire compliance of / "enforce" principles?
• Enforcement is not the right word, maybe inspire. “Here’s the way the brand principles can guide…”
• Examples of how we can enforce and determine content.
• Provide final design deliverables along with usage guidelines.
• List of important criteria from Ellen

Definition of done

• Pitch deck is complete and includes all criteria

Thanks for creating this issue 🎉 I'm currently working on the pros/cons list, and I can share an updated version of the doc later today.

Deck started here: Pitch deck for Amanda

Update on the pros/cons list: I've finished the first draft of the pros/cons list (which includes examples of other agencies/governments sharing their principles) and shared it in the NSF partners channel. Link to the doc is here:

Update on implementation guidance: Today, I finished a first draft of the implementation guide (which contains scenarios to help shape people's thinking around the principles), and I shared this in the channel with @austinhernandez. After implementing Austin's feedback, I'll share this draft with the NSF team to see what changes they'd like me to make.

[austinhernandez]

We will deliver:

• Final summary deck
• Lightweight implementation guide
• Hypothesis guide

[kategarklavs]

Update: I finished v1 of the lightweight implementation guide & shared it in the nsf-partners channel. I'll update said guide with feedback from NSF.

Per today's sprint planning meeting, we'll continue working on this issue during this sprint.
