From Client to Creative to Developer: Creating Project Plans that WORK for Everyone

Not all plans are created equal! We have all been there - either creating or receiving a project plan and crafting it so everyone involved in on the same page! A plan is the core of any project and the driving force of any successful deployment. Therefore it has to work for everyone!

This session will provide you with the knowledge from our PMs on how to create a project plan that addresses your clients’ needs, provides a clear path for your designers and developers and results in on-time and on-budget deliverables. It will give you the tools to help your client define their scope of work, give your creatives the information they need to create a design based on a sound UX strategy and your developers the direction to build a solid Drupal platform.   

What we will cover:

• Different Type of Project Plans that align with your PM styles
• Choosing the right project plan for your Project and Team
• Fundamental information needed for clients to include in a successful plan
• Visual requirements needed for Designers to include in a successful plan
• Technical Specifications for Developers to include in a successful plan
• Tracking changes in scope and how it affects timeline and deliverables
• Closing out the project with a client through a productive debrief

What you will take away:

• Project Plan templates for your online projects
• Key requirements needed for communicating to your clients
• Key requirements for your internal team and their deliverables
• Managing scope and budget creep
• Structuring Project wrap-ups for client satisfaction and potential work
