To garner stakeholder support, I crystalized the project ecosystem and developed a proposal.
Once we completed our heuristic analysis, we prepared a digital slideshow to document the project approach, scope of work and key issues to present. This helped to neatly pitch our project to stakeholders around campus. In this presentation we included:
- Site type to guide the business requirements. For menu, we are working with a content source site which has
- New info daily
- Repeat visitors
- Browse and filter
The purpose of a content site is to support quick and easy decision making by providing information in an easy to digest user interface. In a content site, the presentation and structure is consistent across most pages. -
The outcome of our heuristic analysis including side by side comparisons of other organizations using the same menu software. This gave them a real example and showed them the possibilities.
- A tiered project model which demonstrated the different project outcomes with multiple approachs. This gave the stakeholders a clear baseline so they could gauge the return for each level investment.
I presented the proposal to key stakeholders from different campus divisions to pitch the benefit of the product upgrade. During the meeting, we received approval to move forward.
