My kid has taken some interest in tech, and has asked me to help him build a website for one of his classes. This will be a great learning experiences for both of us, as I’ve been focused on more product planning than product development in my professional path.

That said, are there any resources available on working with kids to build software requirements (functional and non functional)? As well as learning some technical skills, I’d like to expose my kid to some of the planning aspects of a project like this.

Anything in the real of project planning that is oriented towards younger audiences is greatly appreciated!

Please exclude the vagueness, as I work in a fairly guarded private industry.

I’ve been tasked with an objective to develop a system to report on user efficiency proactively. More specifically, use often overlooked data points to reveal additional information about business metrics and other deliverables. The goal being that this system is used as a global reporting tool, with all other existing reporting tools (reporting to this system and ultimately) becoming supplemental.

As this is a brand new world to me, I’ve been hitting the proverbial books (web articles, webinars, online courses, etc) pretty heavily and have formed a lose concept of the tools that might be used when and where, and have identified a number of data points relevant to this use case.

During my research I’ve noticed a difference in availability and use of tools and practices over the years. Many of what I’m finding is publications or courses on a particular platform or workflow of this sort of endeavor, so it’s very much expected to some extent.

What I’m having difficulty finding is the philosophical/conceptual stuff.

Rather than what is most popular or most cutting edge, Im looking for the “why” or “how” behind it: - The unforeseen obstacles that others have faced - what caused the previously considered best practice to become sub-par. - Emerging unpopular opinions in this space, and their reasoning, etc. - reasoning behind changes in what is considered best practices / industry standard

In short I’m looking for some information that I can use to build a set of principals to follow while working on this objective, and by future resources assigned to this objective.

Please assist!
