Hello! I agree with others who have recommended Jesse James Garrett's work. We are in the roll-out phase of our CMS implementation/redesign and I relied heavily on Garrett's book in the early phases. We took an iterative user-focused approach within a broad phased project plan, making sure we had user voices in each step in some form. (We relied on work by Jakob Nielsen, Steve Krug, usability.gov, and others.) Our public face for communicating progress was a blog: http://library.osu.edu/blogs/lipp. Internally, we kept our project plans in dotProject, which doesn't have the best method for outputting the whole plan to share. I plan to write it all up at some point and will be happy to share with you and the list if there is interest. I'll be presenting about the CMS Selection and Implementation part of this project at the LITA National Forum in a few weeks, so that's where I'm starting on the writing up part. Once the presentation is finished I'll be able to share that if you are interested. I hope this helps!

I've started thinking about creating a project plan, but I honestly don't know where to start. I saw this website redesign presentation Lorcan Dempsey tweeted about: http://www.ucd.ie/library/guides/powerpoint/rpan_ppt2/index.swf And started thinking, I wonder if anyone else has similar slides or project plans or advice. I of course asked the Google but I didn't really find any project plans. (If you're curious what I did find, take a look here: http://delicious.com/rosy1280/library+website-redesign) I do of course realize that every library is different, but I'm hoping that any information you all might be able to provide could help get the juices flowing. Thanks for your help in advance.
