Implement a Collaborative Job Board for Parents and Kids

Jose Mayorga
As a Greenlight account manager, I want to have the ability to create and manage a collaborative job board where I can post available jobs for my kids. The job board should allow kids to view, select, and assign jobs to themselves, track their progress, mark completion, and communicate with parents through comments. This feature will encourage kids to take initiative, develop responsibility, and earn rewards for their efforts.
Key features:
- Parent-managed job creation:
- Allow parents to create and post jobs on the board, specifying job details, requirements, and associated rewards.
- Provide options to categorize jobs (e.g., household chores, academic tasks, personal development) for easy navigation.
- Kid-friendly interface:
- Design an intuitive and visually engaging interface that appeals to kids of different ages.
- Display jobs clearly and concisely, including job titles, descriptions, and rewards.
- Job selection and assignment:
- Enable kids to browse available jobs and assign themselves to the ones they want to complete.
- Notify parents when a kid assigns themselves to a job.
- Progress tracking:
- Allow kids to update their progress on assigned jobs (e.g., mark tasks as "in progress" or "completed").
- Provide visual indicators (e.g., progress bars, checkboxes) highlighting job completion status.
- Communication and feedback:
- Implement a comment system for each job, allowing parents and kids to communicate, ask questions, or provide feedback.
- Send notifications to parents when a kid adds a comment or marks a job as completed.
- Reward management:
- Automatically award points or rewards to kids upon completing a job, based on predefined reward settings.
- Allow parents to manually adjust or approve rewards if needed.
- Reporting and analytics:
- Provide parents with reports and analytics on job completion rates, rewards earned, and kid participation levels.
- Offer insights and suggestions for optimizing the job board based on family engagement patterns.
By implementing this collaborative job board feature, Greenlight will empower parents to create and manage engaging job opportunities for their kids while fostering a sense of responsibility, accomplishment, and financial literacy among the younger users.

Yes! I was soooooo disappointed that recurring jobs was not a feature (feels like a huge missed opportunity) and have been looking into other apps that have this as a feature since typing in jobs every single day is a huge pain.

YES! All of this. This is what I was hopping on here to request as well. I just spent 20 minutes setting up jobs for extra money, and it turns out it's only on one child's profile. I'd like it to be able to duplicate OR be on a general shared board. Recurring jobs as well because it will always be up as an option to earn extra money on a daily basis (but isn't a required chore like the chore list).

And just like chores, have a recurring setting. Emptying the dishwasher is a chore in our house, you just do it. Filling is a job, you get paid to do it (no on wants to otherwise). I want it to be an anytime anyone job that becomes available again once a parent approves it was done.

Dawn Grobe we definitely need a way to recur jobs. I can't even look back to see what specific jobs were completed to recreate

This is a great break down of what I'm looking for too.
