About this project

Lone Wolf Style Guide is a style guide for employees and external stakeholders creating content for Lone Wolf Technologies, a real estate technology company based in Cambridge, ON.

Process

• Intake: As a team of 5, we met virtually to discuss the project, our milestones and assign roles. I took on the role of managing the project and sourced Teamwork as a tool to help us manage milestones and timelines
• Research/Audience Analysis: Explored Lone Wolf's website to understand their product offering, external content and their customers
• Content Organization: Brainstormed topics we wanted to cover in the style guide
• Draft: Each member of our team was responsible for writing a specific section of the style guide. We then imported the content into FrameMaker
• Edits: We had an internal editor conduct a substantial edit + production edit
• Finalize: Implemented peer feedback
• Print: Used Adobe Acrobat to prepare the document for printing

Challenges/Takeaways

• Working with so many people on a project was challenging virtually. I believe there is a lot value in managing a project effectively, setting the right expectations and keeping everyone accountable
• It helped to send out project minutes that included what was discussed in each team meeting, what next steps/action items were and who was responsible for what line item
• I appreciated my team and how everyone was willing to jump in to help others even if it was outside of their assigned roles
