Between the idea and a running assistant lie decisions that are hard to correct later. This category covers the technical and organisational frame: embedding into the existing website, connecting to merchandise management, booking or ticketing systems, preparing the knowledge base, handling updates, test procedures before going live and quality assurance in operation. We look at running costs and dependencies, at roles and responsibilities in the project and at how benefit can be evidenced rather than claimed. The goal is projects that start with a clearly defined use case and are then guided by measured results. We additionally describe which test questions to ask before going live — and which answers should stop a launch.
