Session description
You have been asked to lead a WordPress project or team and expectations are high—your institution demands a first-class user experience with the utmost professionalism. And yet, financial and human resources constraints abound, presenting significant management challenges. How can you exceed expectations with a fraction of the budget and team size of a typical agency or corporate setting?
This presentation will describe the methods and tools used by MIT Sloan Management Review's digital media team to consistently deliver exceptional results despite a limited budget and a full-time staff of just two.
You will learn how to creatively staff, plan, organize, manage and track projects using virtual, distributed teams. Through examples and case studies you will leave with an understanding of how to lead a successful WordPress project despite limited resources
Recent research published in MIT Sloan Management Review will be included.
This session was not recorded as requested by the speaker.
