Vyam for hackathons

Project management for hackathon teams

Vyam helps a hackathon team plan its project in the first hour: describe the idea, get a task plan that fits the hours you have, give each task an owner, and keep the demo on the schedule.

What goes wrong, and what Vyam does about it

  • “The first hour disappears in argument”

    Describe the idea in a few sentences and get a plan to react to, instead of starting from a blank page.

  • “Nobody knows who is building what”

    Each task has one owner, and the timeline shows the whole team’s work. With GitHub linked, pull requests appear next to the task they belong to.

  • “The demo is left to the last minute”

    A hackathon plan includes preparing the demo and the pitch as tasks with dates, so they are planned and not an afterthought.

Start in three steps

  1. 1

    Describe it

    Write what you want to make in your own words, and say when it is due and who is on the team.

  2. 2

    Edit the plan

    Vyam drafts the phases, tasks, dates and costs. Change anything before it is saved.

  3. 3

    Follow it through

    Invite your team, give each task one owner, and watch the timeline show what is late.

Questions people ask

How do I plan a hackathon project?
Spend the first hour choosing one problem and one thing the demo will show, split the work so people are never waiting, and set a checkpoint halfway where you cut what will not fit.
Can Vyam plan a project for 24 or 48 hours?
Yes. You give the start and the deadline, and the plan is drafted to fit the time. Remove the phases you do not need, such as Maintenance, for a short event.
Does it work with GitHub?
Yes. Link a repository and its pull requests and commits show on the task they belong to. Each task also has a short key you can use in branch names.
Is it free for a team?
Yes. The Free plan is free, nothing is charged, and you can invite your teammates by email.
Can we use it on our phones during the event?
Yes. The website and the app work on phones, tablets and laptops.
