Most companies have never done an intranet project—and the lack of process often gets them in trouble. Without a clear process, stakeholders often come to meetings but fail to reach a consensus. They may look at the design and hate it but may not be able to articulate why it’s not working.

Fortunately, a refined process can make everything easier: the visual design, getting constructive feedback from stakeholders, content authoring, and configuration.
