  • Document Tags: Development LeadDev Outline
  • Summary: Website projects often fail due to confusion over responsibilities, arbitrary deadlines, and content issues. Misunderstandings about who handles tasks can lead to major setbacks. Proper planning and clear communication at the start can help avoid these problems.

Highlights

  • Who owns the domain? Who owns the hosting? Where is the email managed? Which company (yours or mine) pays the hosting bill? How do updates work? What about maintenance? (View Highlight)

  • The client believes that there are a certain number of things that “should just be included”. They will never vocalise or acknowledge these things until they come up. (View Highlight)

  • You should make a list of items that you find people believe will be included and make those deliverables explicitly included or not. I suggest having a section in your scope of work (S.O.W) for “included items” and “excluded items”. Be sure to walk through these things with the client. If they point out something that they don’t agree with, then that is the perfect time to discuss it. Don’t assume anything. (View Highlight)

  • Always question deadlines. A time limit must be tied to a real-world (physical event or the business opening) reason. Do not make deadlines because you think you will be done at a particular time or just because someone asks you to set a date for when it will be done. (View Highlight)

  • Content is by far the biggest culprit for project failures. Who is generating the content? Who enters the content? What happens if it is missing or incomplete? What if the content isn’t ready in time? How does the blog look if we have no posts? When are we replacing the placeholder images? (View Highlight)
