1. Ali’s Project Management and the Re-purposing of the Food Pyramid Bringing healthy eating into the office April 29, 2010

2. Let’s Start from the very Beginning Source Document: http://www.mypyramid.gov/pyramid/index.html 1stIdea – Web form that would be a pre-existing grocery list. Designed to help people with faster grocery shopping that yields healthy results. www.webpages.ttu.edu/alisbrow 2nd Idea – Design posters that are motivational for coworkers to help motivate them to eat healthier while at work. (There are always so many doughnuts and junk food around) http://alipubsmanagement.pbworks.com/Working-Professional-Information-Posters

3. Target Audience and Motivation Business Professionals who are stuck in an office day after day after day Want people to be healthier = happier= more productive=better work quality Information is concise to attract users.

4. Planning Outlined goals and objectives Outlined user needs Defined the scope Developed a schedule Evaluated project dependencies Completed user testing

5. Predicted Dependencies Technology tools Technical Experience Writing and Design Audience Understanding

6. Authoring Strategies 1) Considered users 2) Outlined my structure 3) Developed style guidelines 4) Used minimalist strategy

7. Content from Presentation Developed web form content first which drove the presentation Developed poster presentation first, which drove the content Both worked equally well

8. Managing Change 4 ways to really mess up Resisting change to design Resisting user feedback Scope creep Re-using everything I can

9. Quality Assurance Scheduled reviews (Yes, even in a team of one reviews do work!) Design and Evaluation User testing pitfalls – Too many suggested changes or too many suggestions that are not useful.

10. Production and Delivery My punch list: Spell checking Style Alignment Readability Verifying links Verifying attachments Testing Reviewing tester’s comments

11. Lessons Learned – What I did right and wrong Right: Planning is essential Right: Get user feedback early Improvement Needed: Asking targeted questions of users Improvement Needed: Learning technology before I need it

12. Conclusion and Hopes for the Future Thanks all for viewing my presentation! I hope someday to not sit behind a desk all day and actually be able to get out there and motivate people to lead healthy and active lives. This is my small attempt to change my surroundings. Even if one person benefits, I feel this will have been a success.
