Concepts & Tasks — 12 Phases

Each phase explains the concept you're applying, then lists the exact tasks to complete. Tick a task, attach the deliverable link, and it's saved for your group instantly.

Submit Today's EOD Report

Every group submits one End-of-Day report per working day of the sprint. Be specific — mentors review these to unblock you fast.

What makes a good EOD report

  • Name the exact task, not just the phase ("GA4 config tag fired on all pages", not "worked on analytics").
  • Flag blockers the moment they happen — access, approvals, tool logins.
  • Tomorrow's plan should map to one or two tasks in the checklist, not the whole phase.
  • One report per day, per group — assign a rotating scribe if needed.

Submit a Deliverable

Attach proof of work — a link, doc, sheet, or short description — against the exact task it belongs to. This also marks the task complete on your dashboard.

Submission checklist

  • Google Sheets / Docs: set sharing to "Anyone with the link – Viewer" before pasting.
  • Live pages: paste the actual subdomain URL, not the WordPress admin link.
  • Templates (Funnel, Media Plan, Persona, A/B Plan, CRO Audit): submit the filled copy, not the blank template.
  • Screenshots of GTM/GA4/CRM setups can go in a shared Drive folder — paste that folder link.

Full Task Briefing

The complete brief for Capstone Project 3, organized in the order you'll execute it. This is the reference copy — the working checklist lives under Concepts & Tasks.

Project overview

  • Group capstone for PGP 14 and PGP 15, running 15 Sep – 29 Sep, ending in a final presentation.
  • Every group has already chosen a brand to build the entire funnel around.
  • Every group gets a subdomain under PGPDN.online (Hostinger access via Jayanth), named after the brand.
  • The deliverable is a working, tracked, automated lead-generation system for that brand — landing page, ads, tracking, and CRM — plus a live campaign run.

1. Domain, hosting & base setup

  • Get Hostinger access from Jayanth and create your brand's subdomain on PGPDN.online.
  • Install WordPress on the subdomain.
  • Create a new dedicated email ID, new GTM container, new GA4 property, and new Microsoft Clarity project for this subdomain.

2. Competitor research & CRO audit

  • Run a competitor analysis (template shared in WhatsApp group).
  • Conduct a CRO audit of a competitor's page using the shared template.

3. AI landing page & conversion elements

  • Build one AI-assisted landing page (ChatGPT, Claude, or similar).
  • Write the copy applying Fogg's Behaviour Model, the LIFT Model, or a mix of both — state which you used.
  • Set up: Lead Form via Instant Form, Chatbot via Live Chatbot, Popup via Hello Bar, WhatsApp button via Wati.
  • Create an A/B test variant of the landing page (template shared).

4. Meta Ads account

  • Set up a new Meta Ads account if required, or reuse an existing one if you already have access.

5. Tracking implementation

  • Install the new GTM container on the new WordPress site, firing on all pages and the Thank You page.
  • Set up GA4 tags for all pages, plus a Thank You page event named "Lead".
  • Track: all button clicks, form starts, video engagement, scroll depth, element visibility, and the Meta pixel — across all pages and the Thank You page.
  • Deploy Microsoft Clarity, Hello Bar, and the Chatbot via GTM, and keep the GTM workspace organized into folders.

6. Campaign planning (templates shared)

  • Marketing funnel for the Meta ad
  • Media plan
  • Campaign structure
  • Buyer persona
  • A/B testing plan

7. Creative production

  • Script, shoot, and edit a Reel ad.
  • Build the ad using Claude or manually.
  • Apply Ads Manager Rules and Value Rules where applicable.

8. Data pipeline & CRM

  • Push KPI data into a Google Sheet via Apps Script.
  • Build one organized master sheet consolidating KPIs and leads from every source.
  • Set up Zoho CRM to manage all leads centrally.
  • Build Zapier workflows: Lead Form → Sheet → CRM; Chatbot → Sheet → CRM; Popup → Sheet → CRM; Meta Instant Form → Sheet → CRM.
  • Every new CRM lead should trigger an automated welcome email — write the email and wire the workflow.
  • Define a lead scoring & qualification framework, and assign leads to a sales team you nominate from your group.
  • Build a CRM dashboard in Zoho.

9. Launch & optimize

  • Launch the campaign and run it until you get a qualified lead within budget.
  • Follow a full optimization checklist (built into the "Launch & Optimize" phase of this tracker) covering CTR, CPL, match rate, LP conversion, and budget issues.

10. Final presentation

  • Present the full journey: brand, funnel, creative, tracking, automation, CRM, results, and learnings.
