Agile Publishing: Twelve Tips for Agile Product Development
1. Get it all in writing first.
While there is ongoing debate about the effectiveness of strict documentation, I feel it's important to have the framework of your development work documented and available for reference. Efficiency in digital product development is achieved when the development team knows what it is building and how to build it. A written record of product requirements and wireframes for each phase of your product is essential to eliminating guesswork and saving time in the development phase. This is crucial because a publishing workflow does and likely always will (at least in the foreseeable future) entail multiple handoffs from different roles in the production process. And these handoffs are where elements of logic or approach can get lost in the shuffle. Clear documentation is a means of sharing the latest information with everyone across your organization.
