### What is the problem**Community Growth Framework**
- What are the things everyone in the project should know?
-- The Community Engagement Department needs a decision-making framework to thoughtfully foster growth in the movement. There have been many research projects conducted over the years to investigate the needs of Wikimedia communities, however, there has never been a comprehensive synthesis of this knowledge into concrete recommendations for CE strategy. The resulting community growth framework will allow Foundation leaders to understand, act on, and communicate how communities grow and make an impact. For more details, see the doc pasted above.
**Project details**
- What do you want to achieve (goals)?
The CE Dept is creating a Community Growth Framework by synthesizing over 6 sources of data together.-- A framework for community growth that describes how the Wikimedia community grows from individuals to groups to communities. And what growth means in different contexts. The framework should be visually appealing, conceptually clear, We want to make sure the resulting prototype is easily understood by audiences and accurate conceptually.and user friendly
