Karina was assigned to create a website plan for a local nonprofit organization. She must ensure that the site includes the following features:
A message stating the purpose of the organization.
An online form that will receive personal information from each employee, volunteer, and stakeholder. These forms will be placed into a secure database.
Karina's first step was to discuss the plan with management before presenting it to the board and stakeholders. She had representatives from the following departments:
Marketing
IT
Web Development
After much discussion, all parties were able to agree on a site plan. After creating the site plan, Karina's project manager asked her to help present this plan to the board and stakeholders. Karina decided to use the following:
Webpage examples provided via an overhead projector
A handout listing the names of the stakeholders, as well as projected costs and timelines
The board and stakeholders were very pleased, although they did have a few specific feedback points that they asked Karina to consider. The project was approved and Karina was able to work closely with the project manager to create the site.
Consider this scenario and answer TWO of the following questions:
1. What additional features might be beneficial to this site?
2. What feedback points do you think the board and stakeholders wanted Karina to consider?
3. Considering that this is a nonprofit organization, what other representatives could Karina have included in her initial discussion?
4. What additional presentation aids could have helped Karina make a positive impression?
