By Chris Armistead

We've noticed a growing trend over the last couple of years-- our client communication and transparency regarding web content management project status, timelines, and training is growing. Because we ourselves have trouble keeping up with all the developments in campus WCM communication, we thought we'd create a special place to spotlight these growing resources.
Our new Cascade Server client resources page highlights some of our current Cascade Server clients and their efforts to keep stakeholders vested and up-to-date with training opportunities, end-user and developer resources, and project status changes. We will continue to add to this a

In Part 3 of our Keys to CMS Project Implementation Success, we discussed the importance of successful requirements gathering prior to embarking on a project.

When done correctly, this can lead to better adoption across the organization and less chance of project scope creep. Once you have clearly identified the project scope, it is important to think about the timing of your Quickstart and training.
