Nevertheless, funds are needed to plan the project, to moderate the participation and to evaluate it later. For this, corresponding personnel expenditure must be planned. If you lack the time or expertise (especially for larger projects), it can be useful to assign someone to do this. It is important to clarify in advance whether there is sufficient budget available for this. text/html 2024-04-25T13:12:42+00:00 Anonymous (anonymous@undisclosed.example.com) https://manual.adhocracy.plus/en:start:initiatorguide:plan_project:phase_1:project_goal?rev=1714050762&do=diff Project goal Why are you initiating the project and what do you expect from participation? What do you want to achieve? Having a clear goal in mind is the basis and guideline of every good project. The implementation of online participation itself cannot be the goal. It is a method that can lead to better results and greater acceptance.

Usually the motivation to participate increases with the degree of involvement. A balance must be found between participation in an early project stage (potentially great influence, but abstract level) or a late project stage (potentially little influence, but concrete basis for discussion). Depending on the topic, it is recomme…
