Key takeaways
- • Website planning should support a measurable business goal.
- • Early decisions are cheaper to validate than late corrections.
- • A focused release plan makes progress visible to stakeholders.
- • Ongoing measurement turns launch data into better decisions.
Define the business need
Website planning starts by giving growing teams a clear decision to make. CodeActivv turns that decision into a practical scope, with assumptions, owners, and measurable outcomes documented before work begins.
At the "define the business need" stage of website planning, test the plan against real customer behavior and operational constraints. That keeps effort focused on the change most likely to create value.
Assess the current position
Website planning starts by giving growing teams a clear decision to make. CodeActivv turns that decision into a practical scope, with assumptions, owners, and measurable outcomes documented before work begins.
A staged website planning approach reduces delivery risk for growing teams during "assess the current position." Review evidence regularly and adjust the next release while change is still affordable.
Prioritize the work

- • Interview sales and service teams.
- • List priority user questions.
- • Create a lean page inventory.
