| description | • The online platform is uniquely positioned to meet the needs of CCAFS as well as the requirements of CGIAR.
• Consensus is needed from the outset about the requirements of such a platform, as the right balance has to be struck between detail and leanness.
• We started with a complex, idealistic vision, which was radically simplified through time to promote partner buy-in. The platform was constantly being challenged to be lean and intuitive.
• Several testing rounds are needed to get to the right level of minimum requirements and maximum flexibility; at the same time, the conceptual structure of the online platform needs to be robust enough to allow for adjustment.
• The conceptualisation of the online platform took the most time and effort; inputs were needed from program managers, project leaders, research and development partners, and monitoring, learning and evaluation experts, to achieve buy-in from an early stage. |
