Through this discussion, we defined the purpose and functions of the platform. The platform would allow the team to add clients, create presentations for them through a variety of predefined slides, and send the presentation to the client in the form of a custom website. Each client would acquire a homepage which would enable them to view all presentations sent to them over time, and to download each presentation as pdf files, in order to be shared with others or accessed offline.
I wanted the platform to be multi-functional to further assist the A&P team to collaborate and ensure that the overall design and content quality would be impeccable. In order to achieve this, team members would be able to leave comments on each slide they design, so the rest of the team could view them and reply, if necessary. Furthermore, before each presentation is sent to the client, its content and look must be approved by the team manager and the design team respectively. The whole team would be able to work on the same presentation at the same time, and receive real-time notifications each time a team member adds/removes/edits a slide.
