Project Planning and Strategy
The best way for your web project to achieve its true success potential while avoiding the costly pitfalls that plague advanced web site development is through a rigorous planning and strategy process in which you define the project. The Strategic Planning process gathers information that will shape the requirements of the project and determine the strategic vision and scope of the web site. This process includes a proven three-step approach which includes:
- Discovery - Define goals and identify requirements
- Analysis - Determine strategy and direction
- Documentation - Document the functional and technical framework of the site
Many leading industry experts including Kelly Goto, the author of "Web Redesign 2.0" and principal of a San Francisco-based strategic consultancy agree that planning is the most important phase of the design and development process. The success of most projects can be measured by how well the project was defined.
