I second David's book choice - I've done 3 redesigns at my library (we're on the 3rd right now) and i have referred to the process in this book countless times. I typically follow an iterative approach to writing and executing my project plans; however, it's difficult to get away from traditional waterfall methodology and our plans sometimes fall back into that mold - I can send you a copy of a proj. plan if you're interested Cheers, Susan VCU Libraries http://www.library.vcu.edu | http://www.library.vcu.edu/redesign Walker, David wrote: > My wife really likes "Web Redesign: Workflow that Works", by Kelly Goto & Emily Cotler. > > The second edition is called Web Redesign 2.0. > > http://www.web-redesign.com/ > http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/57641137 > > --Dave > > ================== > David Walker > Library Web Services Manager > California State University > http://xerxes.calstate.edu > ________________________________________ > From: Code for Libraries [[log in to unmask]] On Behalf Of Jason Stirnaman [[log in to unmask]] > Sent: Wednesday, September 16, 2009 11:36 AM > To: [log in to unmask] > Subject: Re: [CODE4LIB] Library Website Redesign Info and Project Plans > > I just came across this yesterday: > http://johncrenshaw.net/blog/web-development-project-process-workflow/ > Very high-level and usual systems design approach, but with some good > web-specific tips thrown in. > > > >>>> Sean Hannan <[log in to unmask]> 09/16/09 10:20 AM >>> >>>> > We're currently in the middle of a library website redesign as well. > For the most part, we have framed our project using Jesse James > Garrett's The Elements of User Experience > (https://wiki.library.jhu.edu/download/attachments/30737/elements.pdf > ).
