Technical Charts Project

Goal: To help stakeholders clarify Committee for Children’s website goals and communicate these goals fully to our IT and Developer Teams. 

I created charts and diagrams to display the Directors' vision for our server and website functionality. These charts were used as discussion pieces and were updated as the technical requirements for the project became clear. The charts helped non-technical decision-makers understand the project’s technical needs and helped the technical teams understand stakeholders' end goals. 

Diagram and legend for permission levels.  This chart displays stakeholders' goals for registration on two websites and reflects the desired permission requirements, both for particular pages and for individual modules on those pages.
