## Stages
One important thing before start every Teki is being aware of what is the stage of your project. So if you already reached the goals of some stage, you could know that you are in the next stage. This is super important to prioritize your work and keep the focus.

### 5. Tasks βœ…
why yes, goals whay are you trying to answer
### 3. Tasks βœ…

This is one of the most important parts of the Teki meeting, so be sure you have plenty of time to do it.

#### 3.1 Select the most important question
The first thing that you need to do is detect what is the most important question you have. How could you know that?. Just select the question that separete your solution from the customer the most.

##### Rock band examples:

> * How much time am I going to spend on this project?
This question for example is probably the most important because if you don't know how much time you are going to spend on this project, you will not be able to know if you are going to be able to finish it in time. The lack of this answer is separating you from showing your solution to your customer.

Kowing the other anser otherwize is not super important right now, because you don't even know the time you will use in your project.

##### Mission to mars examples:

Here is most difficult, because some of you could think that knowing the materials is the most important question. Because if you don't know that you never are going to acomplish your mission to mars. But that is not necessarily true.

Do you really need to build your own rocket to travel to mars?
Have you researched if there is some other company that is actually selling rockets that are able to go mars?

In this part of the meeting is so important that the team reconcidered their questions. Remember that you are traveling blind through a forest full of challenges. Your real goal as project founder is to make something that other people will want to use. You can build tons of rockets if you want but that is what you want or need, not what your customers want.

If you are building something only because you want to use your free time and have some fun, if your are not planning to show your solution to customers, probably Teki can't be so helpful.

> * Is there customers that need to go to mars?
That been said, I would select this question as the most important. If there is no one that wants to go to mars, you will be trying to build something that will not be used by anyone.

#### 3.2 Define the task you are going to do this week

##### Rock band 🎸:

> * How much time am I going to spend on this project?
How could you answer that question? You probably need to just try to make some music in the week and track the time you spended on it. Or you could need ask your boss or your parents if you can dedicate some time of your duties to this project.

So the task you are going to do is something like

* This week I will track the hours I would spend on this project. Because is the easiest way to know how much time you are going to spend on this project. So that I could countinue with the rock band project and show my music to my fans.
* I need a notebook to trak the time.
* Today I will ask to my parents how much time I can spend on this project. Because I have weekly duties and I would like to have my parents support and permission. So that I will be able to shoy my music.

**Be sure your tasks include:**

1. When you expect to finish.
2. What you are going to do. Including sub tasks.
3. A way to know you are done.
4. Why this task is the best option to answer the question.
5. The results you expect of the task.
6. Part of the task is recopilate the traction data.

##### Mission to mars πŸš€:

Ok so we selected

> * Is there customers that need to go to mars?
I'm not going to go with the tipical _make a poll_. Or the other one _create a landing page_. Let's go more creative.

* This night I will send a fun payed message in four twitch channels asking if anyone would like to go to mars. Bacause I will get the chat and streamer feedback. So that I can have a better idea if there is potential customers.
* We need to create 4 very specific messages to be sent.
* We need to select 4 streamears that tipically stream tonight.

* This Wednesday I will go to the college and ask in five science classes if anyone would like to go to mars. Because I will get the feedback from the science students and professors. So that I can show to this potential market my ideas.
* We need to contact 5 teachers in the college.
* We need to ask for permission in the college.
* We need to create at least 6 big pictures of mars to show to the students.

But the way this two tasks have sense if you already know more or less what could be your market. Probably in a twitch channel you won't find people that want to go to mars (and pay for it).

You can be super creative or go for the tipical ideas. Any option is fine. The real goal here is to do something that can help you to answer your questions, help you to fill the lack of information that you need to build your solution.

### 4. Traction πŸ“Š

Make a list of all the traction data you collected in the last week. This could be excel files, images, stats, or audio files. Any kind of evidence is valid.

It's super important have the full list in all the documents, you can remove the evidence that could be repeated or is not relevant any more (Remember you only should have 2 pages in the document).

##### Rock band 🎸:

So let's say the rock band completed the week tasks they had.

So they can have these tracktion data:

* The amount of time they spent on the project.
* The amount of time my parents allow me to spend on this project.

##### Mission to mars πŸš€:

* Chat screen captures.
* Clip of the comment of the streamer.
* Record of the students opinions.

### 5. Answers πŸ’§

So now you can start to answer some questions. Writing the answers help you to understand your mistakes and hits in your project story.

##### Rock band 🎸:

* How much time am I going to spend on this project?
* According to my one week track and my parents permission I will spend 10 hours per week.

##### Mission to mars πŸš€:

* Is there customers that need to go to mars?
* Some users of XQC appears to be interested, 5 of them showed an interest in actually purchase the tickets.
* Zero biology students (in UNSW Sydney) showed interest in going to mars.
* 1 physics student (in UNSW Sydney) showed interest in going to mars.
* 10 chemestry students (in UNSW Sydney) showed interest in going to mars.

### 6. Pitch Deck πŸŽͺ

There is no better instruction on what to put in your pitch deck than this https://slidebean.com/blog/startups-pitch-deck-examples/

These is the tipical content you should have:

1. Problem
2. Solution
3. Product
4. Market Size
5. Business Model
6. Underlying Magic
7. Competition
8. Better/Different
9. Marketing Plan
10. Team Slide
11. Traction / Milestones

So keep the basic content (only text) in this document. Remember that part of the goal of this meeting is fill this presentation so it is a good guide to create your next questions.
