Translate club work into requirements
Interview the people responsible for registration, teams, fixtures, sponsors and communication. Document the visitor task, current system and desired outcome for each requirement before deciding how the interface should look.
Treat content and integration as core work
Inventory current pages and data, assign content owners and confirm what can be connected from external systems. Empty designs and assumed integrations create delays late in the project.
Develop the operating model with the site
Define administrators, approvals, maintenance, analytics, privacy and support before launch. Clubland’s model combines development with training and ongoing management so these responsibilities are not left unresolved.
