I second David's book choice - I've done 3 redesigns at my library
(we're on the 3rd right now) and i have referred to the process in this
book countless times.
I typically follow an iterative approach to writing and executing my
project plans; however, it's difficult to get away from traditional
waterfall methodology and our plans sometimes fall back into that mold -
I can send you a copy of a proj. plan if you're interested

Subject: Re: [CODE4LIB] Library Website Redesign Info and Project Plans
I just came across this yesterday:
http://johncrenshaw.net/blog/web-development-project-process-workflow/
Very high-level and usual systems design approach, but with some good
web-specific tips thrown in.

We're currently in the middle of a library website redesign as well.
For the most part, we have framed our project using Jesse James
Garrett's The Elements of User Experience
(https://wiki.library.jhu.edu/download/attachments/30737/elements.pdf
). It has been immensely helpful in plotting out our work from the
User Experience touchy-feely end to the Information Architecture to
the visual design and implementation.

Hi All,
I'm about to embark on a library website redesign. 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:

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.
