	What makes a hero? - Matthew Winkler Video:  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Hhk4N9A0oCA
05:33:52 From  Matthew David  to  Everyone:
	We only watched the first two minutes.  I'd recommend watching it to the end to see how the Hero's Journey applies to your everyday life.
05:36:10 From  Mike Strauss  to  Everyone:
	As we do this, add your comments as well!

	Why should I care if the project is on track?
05:40:37 From  Matthew David  to  Everyone:
	"Why should we care?  Why is this important?"  These are questions that we want answered for every ABT.
05:41:39 From  Mike Strauss  to  Everyone:
	If progress slows then ….
05:41:57 From  Matthew David  to  Everyone:
	This might be a good case for an IF/THEN.  Hope:  If we keep the project on track then ______.  Fear:  If the project doesn't get on track, then ________.
05:41:58 From  Josses iPhone 12 mini  to  Everyone:
	So the solution to the problem defines the story?
05:43:33 From  Matthew David  to  Everyone:
	Josses - so often yes!  Each story has two goals.  First is the Ultimate Goal, which is the big picture thing you want to achieve.  The second is the Proximate Goal, which is the specific action that you want to take to achieve the Ultimate Goal.  We tend to want to define stories by those two goals.
05:44:25 From  Matthew David  to  Everyone:
	The Proximate Goal to this story is "keeping things on track."  That's how we achieve the Ultimate Goal of completing the Irrigation Project.
05:45:56 From  Matthew David  to  Everyone:
	Expected vs Observed is incredibly powerful.  I think I use this structure more than any other.
05:47:45 From  Mike Strauss  to  Everyone:
	The RJK Irrigation Project brings water to ____ and if it can be kept on track...
05:47:46 From  Matthew David  to  Everyone:
	Expected Vs Observed and Ultimate Goal vs Proximate Goal are concepts that are going to keep coming up over and over again.
05:48:24 From  Mike Strauss  to  Everyone:
	Show importance by saying how many benefit from it...
05:48:32 From  Josses iPhone 12 mini  to  Everyone:
	….Then thousands of people will escape poverty
05:48:43 From  Matthew David  to  Everyone:
	There you go Josses!  Exactly!
05:48:50 From  Mike Strauss  to  Everyone:
	Needs some numbers! How many people??
05:48:57 From  Mike Strauss  to  Everyone:
	Yes, Josses!
05:49:21 From  François Onimus  to  Everyone:
	all investment so far will be lost
05:49:25 From  Matthew David  to  Everyone:
	IF we can keep this project on track and complete it THEN thousands of people will escape poverty!
05:49:38 From  Mike Strauss  to  Everyone:
	THe FARMERS!!!
05:49:45 From  Matthew David  to  Everyone:
	Francois, that'd be good for a negative IF/THEN in the Red section!
05:50:37 From  François Onimus  to  Everyone:
	crop failure would also come under BUT (=Hell)?
05:50:50 From  Matthew David  to  Everyone:
	Francois - yes!
05:51:09 From  WB510067  to  Everyone:
	IF it can be in track, the planned activity can be completed and people will be benefited as per the project development objective.
05:51:15 From  Matthew David  to  Everyone:
	To maximize contrast, make you blue as Heavenly as possible and your red as Hellish as possible.
05:51:24 From  Mike Strauss  to  Everyone:
	How big is the crop failure?
05:52:28 From  Mike Strauss  to  Everyone:
	How many will be harmed? starve? pushed into poverty? it's about the benefit to people and not about the need to complete a project for the project's sake.
05:52:50 From  François Onimus  to  Everyone:
	in the therefore what matters most is the implementation of the 6-month action plan

05:55:40 From  Mike Strauss  to  Everyone:
	Local services inadequate
05:56:46 From  Mike Strauss  to  Everyone:
	Who is affected by this? We care if people are affected more than we care if government systems are working
05:57:14 From  Mike Strauss  to  Everyone:
	Then...(who is affected and how?)
05:57:38 From  Matthew David  to  Everyone:
	Once again, we're trying to answer the questions of "why should we care?  why is this important?" in the blue section.
05:58:25 From  Josses iPhone 12 mini  to  Everyone:
	I like this heaven analogy
05:58:26 From  Mike Strauss  to  Everyone:
	But even better, how many millions of lives would be improved throughout Nepal.
06:00:02 From  Matthew David  to  Everyone:
	Notice Randy added "it wasn't being fulfilled."  A nice, simple "headline statement" that summarizes everything in a simple statement.  Then he adds the details after the Because.
06:00:04 From  Mike Strauss  to  Everyone:
	These projects are not so much about checking a box that the project is completed but in transforming the lives of people...That answers the why care?
06:00:33 From  Mike Strauss  to  Everyone:
	Good! But seven years later...
06:01:58 From  Josses iPhone 12 mini  to  Everyone:
	What is a better strategy -  fear or hope
06:02:54 From  Mike Strauss  to  Everyone:
	Hope give people a vision of the future...
06:03:02 From  Josses iPhone 12 mini  to  Everyone:
	Seems to me in development work, hope is more powerful
06:03:12 From  Matthew David  to  Everyone:
	I've found that if you make your Hope really powerful in the Blue, it takes very little to take it away in the Red.
06:03:16 From  Mike Strauss  to  Everyone:
	Agree, Josses!
06:04:24 From  Lucy Lytton (she/her)  to  Everyone:
	That time component that Feriha introduced is also really common for WB projects
