Session Details
Content Management Successes: Separating Fact from Fantasy
Speaker: Rahel BailieTime: 3:30 PM - 5:00 PM Date: May 7
Track: Component Content Management
Experience level: All levels
Room: Point Grey Room
There are many ways to skin a content management project, and the skeletons of CM projects gone awry, or even abandoned before conception, line the ditches to prove it. Of all the critical factors on a content management project, why is all the talk about technology? Separate fact from fantasy, marketing from mayhem, and figure out where to focus your energies to make your content management process a success.
Managers and project leads contemplating content management implementations will explore critical success factors for successful content management projects. They will learn the right questions to ask and determine how to refocus the attention on the areas that will lay a strong project foundation. Participants will also be given a framework in which to think about project challenges that often arise, and examples that help provide context. Participants are encouraged to bring their questions to the session.
