Designing and Managing an Intranet
Categorised under: articles, intranets
Most Australian Government departments and agencies have developed intranets to facilitate information sharing and communications across their organisation. These intranets have often grown significantly over time, and a key challenge being faced by agencies is ensuring that their future growth and development remain manageable.
This checklist is intended to be a guide to staff responsible for intranets, including those in website or intranet teams. The information within this checklist may also be relevant to Chief Information Officers, IT steering groups, and other senior managers. Other IT managers may also find the checklist useful in dealing with contractors, or where this function is otherwise outsourced. This checklist focuses on non-technical issues.
This article was written by James Robertson, and then reviewed and revised by AGIMO and members of the Intranet Peers in Government community of practice.
