Project Management Methods

  • Develop a Project Plan
    A project plan takes into account the approach the team will take and helps the team and stakeholders document decisions made regarding the objective, scope, schedule, resources, and deliverables.
  • Project Team Roles and Responsibilities
    Creating an interdisciplinary team with the right mix of skills is vital to the smooth and successful execution of any project.
  • Kick-Off Meeting
    Use your kick-off meeting to discuss the business case related to the site, the vision and mission based on user and organizational goals, and the vision for the site moving forward. 
  • Website Requirements
    Website requirements are a list of necessary functions, capabilities, or characteristics related to your website and the plans for creating it.  There are several types of requirements that may be defined during the process that come together to focus and prioritize the project plan.
