How to Use — Research, Development & Projects
Step-by-step guide for the RDP team — Officer: Kubariho Venture
📋 Managing Projects
All projects must have a defined budget and lead before moving from Planning to Active status. CEO approval is required for budgets over $10,000.
  1. Go to Projects and click + New Project.
  2. Fill in name, description, category, lead, dates, budget, and priority.
  3. Set status to Planning initially. Move to Active once resources are confirmed.
  4. Update progress percentage regularly — this feeds the pipeline visual on the Overview.
  5. Mark as Completed when all deliverables and milestones are achieved.
🔬 Registering Research Studies
Every formal study — from soil health to consumer taste tests — must be registered here to ensure institutional knowledge is preserved.
  1. Click Research Studies then + New Study.
  2. Enter title, topic, lead researcher, methodology, and start date.
  3. When the study is complete, enter a summary of findings in the Findings field.
  4. Upload full reports to the shared drive and reference the report link in the notes.
🏭 Product Development Pipeline
  1. Go to Product Development and click + Add Product.
  2. Set the product stage: Concept → Prototype → Testing → Launch-Ready → Launched.
  3. Assign a lead developer and set the target launch date.
  4. Before moving to Launch-Ready, all QC and regulatory checks must be signed off in the Quality module.
💡 Innovation Ideas Board
Any staff member can submit an innovation idea. Ideas with 10+ votes are reviewed by the CEO and Kubariho Venture at the monthly RDP meeting.
  1. Click + Submit Idea and describe the innovation, its category, and potential impact.
  2. Vote on ideas by clicking the up arrow — this surfaces the best ideas for review.
  3. High-voted ideas are promoted to a Project or Product Development entry.
📈 Lab Results Log
  1. Go to Lab Results and click + Log Result after each lab analysis.
  2. Enter the test type, sample ID, parameter measured, result value, and unit.
  3. Set status to Pass, Fail, or Review.
  4. Fail results must trigger a corrective action in the Quality module immediately.
