Solving design problems for businesses of all sizes

Project Journal

Coming into Milestone I

Well, it’s been awhile since I’ve written here! I am having NO issue maintaining my hours, though. There is plenty of work to do. There will be plenty more.

The team is working well together. I actually think this month will be the most nerve-wracking; presenting concepts and wire frames while biting fingernails hoping the committee approves a direction! It has become obvious that so much of the functional issues with the old site have a lot to do with the organization of the information. Julia’s UX work and research really helps guide the initial designs. So very helpful.

Defining KPIs has been difficult, but we have some working propositions for review.

The content strategy and organization is a beast of a job. I will be working to draft some type of spreadsheet to define what types of content go where authored by whom and need to follow which rules and guidelines.

With this aggressive of a timeline feedback needs to be timely, consistent, and comprehensive. We are augmenting the process a little to better suit the needs and capability of BAA/BAAF. An agenda with information for review will be sent prior to the meeting and a debrief with specific questions will be sent afterwards. I am confident we can get the responses and input we need within that 3 day window.

I’ll be more vigilant about updating this journal especially after Milestone Meetings!
