A diagram of website governance
– posted September 8th, 2009 by Shane Diffily Comments (3)
Over the past few years, many of the long-standing issues of website development have been solved (or are at least being far better handled). This includes technology, design and content.
However, one area continues to be both little understood and very poorly implemented: Website Governance.
Introducing Web Governance
Website governance is a means for supervising the activities of website management in a controlled and orderly way.
Part of the problem, however, is that lots of web managers simply don’t know what they’re supposed to be doing.

To help you out, I have created a simple diagram that maps all the major areas of activity and key tasks within each.
Download it now for free, print it out (A3 size) and pin it to your wall (PDF 2.2Mb).
It should help you both structure your work and communicate what it is a web manager/webmaster actually does.

At last: a diagram that explains to the uninitiated (bosses, directors) exactly where time goes in managing a website…

Shane,
Compliments on the 1 page diagram - captures the key activities in an easy to understand manner.

Thanks I really like it! Now I just need a wall (no kidding, an “open plan”-office can be a real problem).
