● Look at your community needs, type of people and
decide what type of initiative you should build
● Think about the future prospective and how you
can align your company and community goals
● For e.g - Postman Student Expert and GitHub
Campus Expert programs focus on students since
one of their target audience is student. Curate your
programs according to your audience.
● Plan well and think of how the program can be scalable
and used as a reference for future programs
How do we build
programs?
