“The Ad Agency”
“The IT Department”
“The E-commerce
organisation”
“The lean start-up”
We need a new process for digital projects

Ad-agency-way
Concept is king (some one else will produce it...)
Client sign-off is extremely important (heritage from print era)
Everything needs to be designed and approved
We present layouts in printed form (even website design)
Communication & brand is most important
www.frojd.se@FrojdAgency
E-commerce
Sales rules
Constant improvement of process
Small change > Test > Small change > Test > Small change...
Branding & communication is unnecessary “fluff”
Conversion rates
Copy with pride
www.frojd.se@FrojdAgency
IT-department
System integrations rules
Back-end is more important than front-end & UX
Internal systems and platforms set the agenda
Design is about “coloring” what is already decided
Waterfall-processes makes sure decisions are made

Start-up-buzz
Minimum Viable Product
Prototype & test
Bootstrap / lean
Time to Market
Alfa-release, Beta-release, Closed Beta, Open Beta
Product focus
The “idea” is worthless

Why digital projects are challenging...
We careabout the users, the “product”, sales, branding, communication,
customer service, safety, usability. Equally.
We care lessabout internal organisation, department and silos, below the line,
above the line, if the CEO has IE7...

Our way:

We have to accept one fact - we are ALWAYS one step behind...
1 year 2 years 3 years
www.frojd.se@FrojdAgency
But, we can decide the size of the step...
