A Project Proposal Process

In the olden-days, proposing a new project like a department homepage reorganization, the moving of a site into Trillium, or creating a whole new site from scratch was typically initiated with a phone call or an email to someone in New Media, with a follow up face-to-face meeting.

After one such meeting, our office was talking about what type of questions always come up at the start of a project, and how it may be helpful to ask and think through those questions ahead of time, getting some thinking down before the fact to make it easier for everyone involved. Being “web people” we went ahead and created a little online form to ask these questions of people proposing projects.

The web intake questionnaire

If you have any thoughts on this please let us know in the comments below, there will be a great deal of our day to day work which doesn’t require something this involved, but when approaching a major development we think it will be a great foundation and launch pad.
