NATIONAL GEOGRAPHIC

Charting Project & Technical Success

CHALLENGE

Trusted and followed by a global audience, National Geographic is the iconic brand driven by a passionate belief in the power of science, exploration and visual storytelling to change the world.

National Geographic, in an effort to continually push beyond boundaries, created an inspiring and transformative digital product vision that combines content from the brand’s television, print and online channels.

The undertaking would be a bold new direction for the brand and its partners, requiring the organization to operate in new ways to deliver the exceptional experience.

As part of gearing up for this critical mission, the senior executives wanted to confirm the right course was set for success.

SOLUTION

DoubleHaul guided the senior executives, providing a roadmap for success. The plan was informed by stakeholder interviews and best practices for complex implementations and organizational transformations.

DoubleHaul performed a comprehensive assessment, including:

  • Technical architecture, approach and extensibility
  • UX requirements and acceptance criteria review
  • Project management, schedule and risk management
  • Staffing, roles and responsibilities
  • Gaps, risks and recommendations

This plan helped National Geographic proceed with greater confidence.
