Best web practices: how well do we really do it?
![Page 3: Managing The Metamorphosis](https://reader034.vdocuments.site/reader034/viewer/2022051516/55a420cd1a28ab531c8b4618/html5/thumbnails/3.jpg)
We know: we can’t just make best practices fit in a project; needs to be part of the game plan and team philosophy.

But what happens when projects don’t go according to plan?

It feels a bit like this.

A project going off the rails

A project going off the rails

Perhaps ...

Before we look at incorporating best web practices, we need to first understand how to do web projects well.

How do we end up with these problems?
![Page 17: Managing The Metamorphosis](https://reader034.vdocuments.site/reader034/viewer/2022051516/55a420cd1a28ab531c8b4618/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Key Aspects
1. Process & methodology
2.Project planning
3.Team dynamics
![Page 18: Managing The Metamorphosis](https://reader034.vdocuments.site/reader034/viewer/2022051516/55a420cd1a28ab531c8b4618/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
How should we work?
Process & methodology
![Page 19: Managing The Metamorphosis](https://reader034.vdocuments.site/reader034/viewer/2022051516/55a420cd1a28ab531c8b4618/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Process may not reflect project needs, and is not in fact the saviour.
![Page 20: Managing The Metamorphosis](https://reader034.vdocuments.site/reader034/viewer/2022051516/55a420cd1a28ab531c8b4618/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
The team may or may not have wholly bought into the methodology.
![Page 21: Managing The Metamorphosis](https://reader034.vdocuments.site/reader034/viewer/2022051516/55a420cd1a28ab531c8b4618/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
Not enough time to planned for planning, not enough budget.
![Page 22: Managing The Metamorphosis](https://reader034.vdocuments.site/reader034/viewer/2022051516/55a420cd1a28ab531c8b4618/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
No margin for error.
![Page 23: Managing The Metamorphosis](https://reader034.vdocuments.site/reader034/viewer/2022051516/55a420cd1a28ab531c8b4618/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
What, when and how much?
Planning & estimation
![Page 24: Managing The Metamorphosis](https://reader034.vdocuments.site/reader034/viewer/2022051516/55a420cd1a28ab531c8b4618/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
Estimates made based on previous projects.
(which were probably wrong)
![Page 25: Managing The Metamorphosis](https://reader034.vdocuments.site/reader034/viewer/2022051516/55a420cd1a28ab531c8b4618/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
Estimates are “set in stone”.
![Page 26: Managing The Metamorphosis](https://reader034.vdocuments.site/reader034/viewer/2022051516/55a420cd1a28ab531c8b4618/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
Inaccurate assumptions made on how complex something actually is to build.
![Page 27: Managing The Metamorphosis](https://reader034.vdocuments.site/reader034/viewer/2022051516/55a420cd1a28ab531c8b4618/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
Optimism: how much time it should take vs how much time it really does.
![Page 28: Managing The Metamorphosis](https://reader034.vdocuments.site/reader034/viewer/2022051516/55a420cd1a28ab531c8b4618/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
No prior resourcing as to who may be available to do the job.
![Page 29: Managing The Metamorphosis](https://reader034.vdocuments.site/reader034/viewer/2022051516/55a420cd1a28ab531c8b4618/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
Too much love for Gantt charts.

Too much love for software.

Where’s the love for the people?
![Page 32: Managing The Metamorphosis](https://reader034.vdocuments.site/reader034/viewer/2022051516/55a420cd1a28ab531c8b4618/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)

Talking to one another without prejudice.

Ditching the cogwheel mentality.
![Page 35: Managing The Metamorphosis](https://reader034.vdocuments.site/reader034/viewer/2022051516/55a420cd1a28ab531c8b4618/html5/thumbnails/35.jpg)
Being proud of what we do
Quality as a measure of satisfaction
![Page 36: Managing The Metamorphosis](https://reader034.vdocuments.site/reader034/viewer/2022051516/55a420cd1a28ab531c8b4618/html5/thumbnails/36.jpg)
Define a vision for quality. Create a thirst for doing good stuff.
