Needs Analysis
Sjá’s methodology is based on a couple of components. First, defining the goals and the means to reach them.
We do extensive user research to help us identify these means; such as user interviews, focus groups, brainstorming with users. Identifying the stakeholders – the correct target or user group is crucial. We build the user journey through these processes.
With this foundation further development of structure, content and functionality is possible. By visualizing the flow and interactivity the main processes are identified and drawn up. The users’ needs are held at the core throughout the process.
Choosing a solution
According to the findings it is possible to put down a description of requirements, detailing functionality and specific solutions are needed. These requirements can be used to choose the right CMS or to compare to existing solutions and to understand what needs to be added.
Intranets
Sjá assists with strategy, development, testing and implementation or company intrenets as well as overseeing project management. Sjá has assisted in the making of the intrenets for some of Iceland’s largest companies.
