CD-ROM DEVELOPMENT PROCESS

The following is an outline of the stages involved in the development of a CD-ROM. Although steps are presented as being separate, overlap can and should occur to ensure a successful project. Lead-times for CD-ROM development can be as low as 2 weeks.

PHASE 1 - PROJECT START
Determine business goals and decide how CD-ROM can effectively achieve these. Identify scope of project. Determine budget. Estimate timeframe. Clarify objectives. Produce project proposal based on goals and objectives.

PHASE 2 - ASSET COLLECTION AND CREATION
Identify assets for use in project e.g. text, database, photographs, graphics, audio, video. Determine which of these already exist, which are to be collected/created by the client, and those which Create Interactive will produce.

PHASE 3 - INITIAL DESIGN AND PROTOTYPE
Produce sample screenshots. A prototype will demonstrate usability, functionality etc. Refine screenshots and prototype based on client suggestions.

PHASE 4 - BUILD
Collection of assets from client. Creation of assets by Create Interactive e.g. photography. Authoring of CD-ROM. Packaging design.

PHASE 5 - TESTING
