New analytics of web governance
4 likes1,043 views
The document discusses web governance and provides a framework for understanding and analyzing it. It defines web governance as managing a website in a controlled and orderly way. The framework describes web governance in terms of activities, scale (of the site), and resources required. It suggests using metrics to evaluate how well web governance is working based on organizational, operational, and online indicators. Diagnosing issues can help identify gaps, skill/time deficiencies, process problems, tool limitations, or budgeting issues to optimize web governance.

- 37. How to do an audit to see if Web Governance is at fault… siteimprove.com 1-855-SITEIMPROVE info@siteimprove.com
- 38. 1 1. Audit all activities to ensure everything is being done (i.e. there are no gaps). For example, if content goes live with many misspellings, is it because the task of 'Quality Assurance' is not occurring, or is only being done on a cursory level? siteimprove.com 1-855-SITEIMPROVE info@siteimprove.com
- 39. 1 2 2. Identify if person(s) responsible has enough skill, time & direction to do the job. Perhaps the staff member responsible does not have enough time. Alternatively, perhaps no-one has been formally assigned to QA by the Web Manager? siteimprove.com 1-855-SITEIMPROVE info@siteimprove.com

Or maybe the Web Manager has nominated someone who is inappropriate to the role? siteimprove.com 1-855-SITEIMPROVE info@siteimprove.com
- 41. 1 2 3 3. Identify how each task is done, how rigorous the process is & how well it is followed. Perhaps QA is occurring but the staff member is ignoring the documented process. Or perhaps the process itself is not detailed enough and is missing key steps? siteimprove.com 1-855-SITEIMPROVE info@siteimprove.com
- 42. 1 2 3 4 4. Identify what tools are used (if any) & whether they are suitable to the job. Perhaps the staff member does not have the right tool for the job or is using the tool in the wrong way? siteimprove.com 1-855-SITEIMPROVE info@siteimprove.com
- 43. 1 2 5 3 4 5. Finally, check what budget is available & whether it is appropriate to the task. Perhaps too much budget is applied elsewhere, e.g. so much funding goes into creating new content that little is left over for on-going maintenance? siteimprove.com 1-855-SITEIMPROVE info@siteimprove.com
