Project Overview

Pivotalexpert2.0-v02-logo-500px.-CCH.dSiGnz-.png


Project Description

Pivotal Expert is a fun social networking platform which helps entrepreneurs turn their ideas into reality, by easily providing them relevant student developers who are looking for opportunities to gain real world developing exposure and vice versa.


Project Goals

The goal for Pivotal Expert 2.0 is to integrate social networking features and provide student developers with a clear list of achievements that they can unlock to improve their personal profiles and increase their technical experience.

Another goal would also be to create a personal Return-on-Time (ROT) view that will help student developers better understand the area in which they are earning the greatest compensation for their time spent on projects.

Finally, the team will develop the features and business model to support the crowd-sourced evangelization and adoption of Pivotal Expert globally.
