The Slow Boat…• Long process
– Disruptive to your staff
– Duplicate maintenance
– Disruptive to visitors
– Long payback
– The longer the process, the more likely important things will change!

Incremental Change• Incorporate site changes in small(er) chunks
• Push changes live as they are complete
• Watch behavior and use feedback
• Taking larger changes and rolling out incrementally

What Should I Do First?

Prioritization• Big-bang projects blur prioritization
• In incremental redesign, prioritization must be based on what drives value, not on squeaky wheels
![Page 27: Web Development: Change is the only Constant [WEBINAR]](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062418/554d0a12b4c905d4568b4bb4/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
Prioritize Initiatives• In support of
strategic/business plan
• Measurable value
• Resources/staff available
• Implementation plan
• Long-term support plan
• Valid executive sponsor

Prioritization Will Set You Free
![Page 29: Web Development: Change is the only Constant [WEBINAR]](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062418/554d0a12b4c905d4568b4bb4/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
Balancing Short and Long-term
Interests
![Page 30: Web Development: Change is the only Constant [WEBINAR]](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062418/554d0a12b4c905d4568b4bb4/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
…teams who focus on the long term are far more likely to create designs that really pay off for the organization. Short-term thinking gets the design done, but the team ends up
doing it all over again months down the road. Long-term thinking deals with the inevitability
of changes and turns the site into a living, breathing entity that grows with the
organization's needs.” Jared Spool, User Interface Engineering
Planning vs. Agility

Maintenance, Management and Governance
![Page 33: Web Development: Change is the only Constant [WEBINAR]](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062418/554d0a12b4c905d4568b4bb4/html5/thumbnails/33.jpg)
Example:Ongoing Content Governance
• Ongoing program approach
• Inventory and audit content in sections
• Run individual pages through the process, not sections (one piece flow!)
• Publish updated content as it is completed
• Key metric is number of pages published, not “started” or “ready to publish”
• Obsessive tracking of metrics with feedback loops
![Page 34: Web Development: Change is the only Constant [WEBINAR]](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062418/554d0a12b4c905d4568b4bb4/html5/thumbnails/34.jpg)
Incremental Change Benefits• Incremental change processes feel more calm!
• More manageable– Easier to collect and manage content
– Easier to measure
– Easier to troubleshoot
• Allows for prototyping and experimentation– Drop what doesn’t work
• Deployment of change to future sections increasingly easy
![Page 35: Web Development: Change is the only Constant [WEBINAR]](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062418/554d0a12b4c905d4568b4bb4/html5/thumbnails/35.jpg)
If We’re Scrapping Everything, Does Incremental Redesign Really Make Sense?
![Page 36: Web Development: Change is the only Constant [WEBINAR]](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062418/554d0a12b4c905d4568b4bb4/html5/thumbnails/36.jpg)
When Should We Choose the Big Bang?
![Page 37: Web Development: Change is the only Constant [WEBINAR]](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062418/554d0a12b4c905d4568b4bb4/html5/thumbnails/37.jpg)
When Should We Start Clean?
• When there is very little of the current site worth salvaging
• New information architecture, navigation and site organization
• When the organization goes through a drastic change in identity
• New technical architecture…maybe
![Page 38: Web Development: Change is the only Constant [WEBINAR]](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062418/554d0a12b4c905d4568b4bb4/html5/thumbnails/38.jpg)
But AFTER that Redesign…
![Page 39: Web Development: Change is the only Constant [WEBINAR]](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062418/554d0a12b4c905d4568b4bb4/html5/thumbnails/39.jpg)
Go-Live is a Beginning, Not An End
This is not a sprint, it’s a long-distance relay race
Even when you do a big-bang, continue with
incremental redesign

Stop Thinking About the Web in Project Terms
Start Thinking About the Web as a Program
