Magic Happens
We have been interviewing customers, users and management for about eight weeks now on the way to defining our Content Management System requirements. We have inventoried the content areas involved, and created Use Cases and Benefits Analyses from the interview contents.

Content: Inventories of Content
This project, like many others, will be successful when a bunch of “stuff” that is now in an old place, will be accessible in a new place, and in a new way. In this case the “stuff” is medical content documents. The new way is accessible through improved cross-silo search capabilities. So, knowing facts about the “stuff” – how many, what format, where – is important to the success of the project.

As you may recall, I’m the PM for a project to install a content management system for a medical publisher. We have worked hard at understanding and documenting the benefits of the system, but that’s not what people really want to talk about.
