Planning by situation

Small-business priorities

A small website benefits from a scope that its owner can understand and maintain.

Choose the starting priorities

  • Make the main services and contact status clear.
  • Fix the most consequential broken customer paths first.
  • Choose a few measures tied to the actual business.

The acceptance question

Will the owner know what changed and how to maintain it after the project?

Turn it into a bounded project

List the affected pages, source owners and dependencies. Name who can implement and verify the changes. Keep an accepted current version and a record of the work so the next decision has a reliable starting point.
