  • Once there is a time estimate, a manager will work with Analyst to determine priority.
  • The Analyst will develop a draft of the website.
  • The user will then review the draft, and sign off (email is fine).
  • The Analyst will complete the site based on the scope (what is in writing).
  • The user will then review and sign off again. Minor changes OK, major changes should be a separate task/work order.
