The Lessons Learned
•
•
Capture the as-is first
Don’t fix what isn’t broken
•
Don’t deploy until you are
ready to audit and measure
•
It’s never done in one pass
– be prepared to do and do
again
•
The EPG is the facilitator –
the project team is the
content SME
•
Make sure everyone is on
the same page
