HOW WE BUILT IT FOR YOU
We started by focusing on the simple, but important things.
The ones that could make or break a project or team, and presented in a way to show you what you need to know quickly, simply, and effectively.
EACH SECTION BUILDS ON THE ONE BEFORE
1. THE PREP
Understand what is needed for a great Project Scope, Key Messaging, Research, and Project Planning and those important Metrics.
2. THE PROCESS
Gets you prepared for hiring the right person, the best practices for collaboration reviews, and feedback, contracts, confidentiality and payment terms.
3. THE POST
How to properly close out the project with the understanding of the ownership of assets, back-up storage, and security.
Sometimes those “little details" have special talents in creating big problems!
So we added 2 critical sections into the handbook to help you
see and react to potential bad situations long before they materialize:
RED FLAGS
Our most important insights and experiences called out, the of things you shouldn't ignore or go beyond until resolved.
If you ONLY do
these things..."
Not everything is necessary, but these are the bare minimum things you need take into consideration to make your project a success.
