Choosing Your NGO Transformation
Now that you have defined your scope, it is time to choose the narrative for your capstone project. As a Solution Engineer, you aren't just building a feature; you are solving a mission-critical problem. Below are two starter scenarios designed to push the boundaries of what you can build with Cursor. You may select one of these or propose your own custom scenario based on a real-world NGO challenge you've encountered in the field.
Option 1: CleanWater Global – The Mission Control
CleanWater Global struggles to convey the real-time impact of their field operations to their board of directors. While their data lives in Salesforce, standard reports feel too static and fail to capture the urgency of their mission. They need an interactive Mission Control interface that visualizes project success across three different countries without the overhead of a full analytics suite. Consider using Cursor to build:
- A dynamic Lightning Web Component (LWC) that aggregates project milestones.
- Visual indicators of 'Lives Impacted' that update as field data rolls in.
- A geographic or status-based overview that simplifies complex data for executive stakeholders.
Option 2: Pathways Home – High-Speed Intake & Action
Pathways Home manages Street Outreach for the unhoused. Their field workers are often on tablets in the rain or high-traffic areas; they don't have time to navigate a complex CRM with dozens of tabs. They need a high-speed, high-touch Intake & Action tool that prioritizes speed and usability in the field. Your goal is to create a streamlined experience that includes:
- A 'Mobile-First' intake form designed for rapid data entry with minimal clicking.
- Automated 'Next Best Actions' triggered immediately upon case creation.
- A simplified interface that surfaces only the most critical client history for workers on the go.
Remember, the best demo is the one where you can clearly articulate the 'Before' and 'After.' Whether you choose one of these paths or create your own, focus on building a solution that demonstrates the agility of Agentic Engineering.
