Project Kickoff Dashboard

This dashboard is a starting point that serves as your step-by-step guide to setting up a Delta project. Each step contains contextual buttons that take you directly to relevant project configuration areas, along with helpful instructional videos.

Step 1: Welcome!

The first step includes a customizable introductory message. This screenshot shows the default message, but you can update it to guide new project managers when using your project template(s). The Get started with Centercode button links to Centercode’s "Getting Started" playlist, a short series of videos to help you begin your Centercode journey.

Step 2: Configure your project teams

The second step takes you to reviewing and updating your user segmentations. This is an important early step for getting your project started since all your other recruitments, agreements, forms, etc. will base their access on these teams.

From here, you can click the recruitment tiles to view the associated list of respondents or click the Create button to add a new recruitment path into your project. Note that the recruitment corresponds to the access and onboarding steps your candidates will take, but we're not actually inviting anyone in just yet. That comes in a later step!

Test planning is a critical component of delta testing, but there are a lot of different ways to use these features to accomplish your goals. The fifth step includes adding your test plan to your project including your testing phases and the features you're targeting for each. Once you've completed step 5 and your test plan is configured, you'll be ready to
