Discovery & Planning Questions

• Who is your ideal community member? Describe their demographics, interests, pain points, and what motivates them to join a community.
• What specific topics, themes, or activities will be the focus of your community? What kind of content will you provide to spark conversation?
• On which platform will this community live (e.g., Facebook Group, Slack, Discord, Circle, own website)? Why did you choose that platform?
• How will you measure the success of your community? What key metrics are most important (e.g., engagement rate, member growth, user-generated content, support tickets deflected)?
• What is the desired tone and style for your community? (e.g., formal, informal, humorous, professional, academic)
• What resources (time, team members, budget for tools) can you dedicate to building and managing this community on a weekly basis?
• Are there any existing online communities (even for competitors) that you admire? What specific things do you like about them?
