Keys for Success

1) Content migration is the most time consuming part of many website projects. While tedious, finalizing the sitemap as soon as possible is critical to keeping your project on schedule. If there will be multiple parties/departments involved, it is a good idea to schedule working sessions with them in advance to ensure this part of the project does not run into a delay.
2) It is critical that you fully understand how Content Groups work in the CMS so you can properly organize your sitemap. Please reach out to your Vision PM if you need help.
3) Please be as clear as possible on your sitemap. Another person not involved with the project should be able to understand it.
4) Keep the content migration sitemap in the original template format. If needed, add more columns to the right to for comments but do not alter the Excel sheet structure or formatting.
