CMS
C
–Erin Kissane
“Hoping that a content management system will
replace this kind of human care and attention is
about as effective as pointing a barn full of
agricultural machinery at a field, going on
vacation, and hoping it all works out.”

• Content takes time
• Content is expensive
• Content is political
• Content often has a legacy
–Kristina Halvorson

The “Day 2” Problem
–Gerry McGovern
“A typical CMS is like a digestive system
with no capacity to poop.”
Photo Credit: Walter Parenteau
Why This Happens
• No post-launch plan!
• Lack of buy-in and training
• Inadequately structured content fields
• Tools mismatched to workflow and needs
Wrangling Adapting Governing
Take-Aways
• Plans are not strategies
• Content first, because it informs all other things
• Content requires design
• Content editors are users too
