Introduction

In this document, we provide a check-list te be used in your project management to ensure that Boxalino Narratives have been integrated into all the key parts of your website.

Process Management

When you plan to redesign a part or the entirety of your e-shop, you can plan your Narratives in the following way:

Project Managers define the Pages where narratives should play a role according to the Page Layout Check-list below
Project Managers together with the IT confirm the selection and define a meaningful set of Narrative Layout Blocks (template) according to the Layout Block (Templates) list below
It implements the Layout Blocks (in part based on the provided and links to Layout Blocks best practice schema provided in the Layout Block (Templates) list below)

For Project Manager, get familiar with the concept of Narratives for your projects with our document: Project Management guidelines for Narrative Projects

Page Layout Check-list
