Planning Sheet

At the start of a new project we'll ask you for information—refer to our project planning sheet (pdf)—that will help us efficiently create an effective publication:

• Who are the project's primary audiences?
• What are the project's primary objectives?
• Who from your department will act as contact person? By streamlining your departmental approval process, you'll save time.
• Are there any vacation dates or variations in office hours that may affect deadlines?
• What is your budget and the quantity to be printed? We'll need this information to estimate project costs.
• To what chart string should editorial, design, and outside costs be billed?
