Project Info:
This was a large project involving over 25 internal staff and contractors, and a total budget of just over 1 million dollars. There were two projects running together, the public Web site and the company Intranet. For the public site, the Foundation wanted an Internet presence and brand identity that reflected their newly expanded nationwide philanthropic efforts. This project entailed a large creative effort involving many iterations and conceptual brainstorming. The copy effort was also large and three extra contract copywriters were engaged as writers. Many members of the Foundation were involved in all aspects of the site planning and development. The result was one of the Web's most creative, extensive and innovative charitable foundation Web sites. The Intranet project scope was $185,000 in budget and included many standard knowledge management, content management and internal communications components that allowed the foundation staff to function more effectively.
Contribution Detail:
My role was Lead Project Manager for both the public Web site and the Intranet. I was introduced to the client in pre-sales as lead fulfillment manager, wrote the proposal scope and the contracts. The project was won over many other local and national vendors such as IXL. I was the main client contact and was responsible for overall project success, schedule and budget, change order and new feature negotiation and overall team management and leadership. Both projects launched successfully and my attention was turned towards the next engagement with the foundation at Harvard University.
