Foundations-Case Study: Plan It Out

Seamus was assigned to create a Web site plan for a charity organization. He must ensure that the site includes the following features:

-A message stating the purpose of the charity
-An online form that will receive personal information from potential volunteers & place it into a database.

Seamus' first step was to discuss the plan with stakeholders. He did not have a stakeholder group, so he obtained representatives from the following departments:

-Marketing
-IT
-Web development

Eventually, all parties were able to agree on a site plan. After creating the site plan, Seamus' project manager asked him to help present this plan to upper management. Seamus decided to use the following:

-Web page examples provided via an overhead projector
- A handout listing the names of stakeholders, as well as projected costs and time lines

Upper management was very pleased, although they did have a few specific feedback points that they asked Seamus to consider. The project was approved, and Seamus was able to work closely with the project manager to create this site.
