DRaft Guideline
Jul 04, 2011

Does anyone have some guidelines on drafts that they give out to clients, SMEs that they can share?
I have always worked by word of mouth with the general rules being
After delivery of 1st Draft: All content and structure (Except where it is determined by the module map) can be changed.
After delivery of 2nd Draft: Images agreed in draft 1 cannot now be changed, structure agreed in draft 1 cannot be changed. All other content can be changed
After delivery of 3rd draft: Only spelling mistakes, factually incorrect information and obvious missed content
BUt I think I need to be more formal and wondered if anyone had anything they could share

I wish I had read this earlier.
I just had a client say "I absolutely love this, but the layout looks too much like "X" can you just change that?"
"Um...sure... it will take about 3 weeks..."
I'm still waiting to hear back from them if they want to wait 3 more weeks (This was supposed to launch July 10)
Anyways, now I know better. Get the layout approved IN WRITING much earlier.
Live and learn and all that.
This is pretty much what we do.
We set out all these requirements in out LDP (Learning Development Plan) at the outset of a progect and have all stakeholders agree before we start any work.
