TEAM STRUCTURE
PLANNING
- Thorough planning and discovery = the best thing you can do to maintain timeframe and cost
- Plan to design as many pages as possible
- Don't leave unanswered questions for the development phase
- Milestones & Documentation (with signoff)
PLANNING
- Identify stakeholders
- Make sure everyone's aware of how decisions are made, and that decisions are relatively final
- Present options, not open-ended questions
- Flexibility != indecisiveness
DECISION MAKING
- Have someone dedicated to content, ASAP
- Dedicated project manager on both sides of the project
- Designers and Developers are not project managers
TEAM STRUCTURE
