Holly, In response to your post, I have found a common theme amongst all of the clients that I have worked with. Keep It Simple Stupid! As foolish as this may sound, a main cause for failing CMS projects I have worked on has been poorly implemented workflow. In several cases, the most simple workflow ended up being the cornerstone of their CMS.
Obviously, your business requirements will dictate what you need to do, but just keep in mind that the easier it is to use, the more effective it will be. As an example, I created a workflow for a client that has 7 steps in the process to get their website copy out to production, on the insistance of the group. I went back to the client two months later and created an alternative workflow with three steps to get to production. They no longer use the 7 step process. In addition to this, I would say that workflow is like all other development in that the final product will vary from the originally intented target. With this in mind, figure out the fastest way possible to get _something_ out there for your users to react to. I'm sure that you are looking for more detailed classification scenarios, however I thought I would throw in my $.02 Good luck, Brendan Brendan Reardon WebVision Global Consulting WWW: http://www.wvglobal.com Email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Phone: 401-783-5259 Mobile: 401-935-5705 Fax: 401-921-1197 "WebVision Global Consulting - Cutting Edge Technology.
