Change Approval Process and Website Ownership

Introduction

As our organization grows, so does the number of internal services we maintain. The Stevens Blueprint website is one of these services. Now that the website has reached a stable version, we need a lightweight approval process to ensure future changes align with our design principles, organizational messaging, and technical standards.

In software development, the concept of service ownership is commonly used—where a team is responsible for building, maintaining, and supporting a service. We propose adopting this model within Blueprint, starting with the website.

This document introduces a formal approval workflow for website changes. It ensures changes reflect our design values, maintain technical stability, and uphold our public-facing brand. It also adds accountability and reduces the likelihood of breaking the website.

Approval Process

There are 3 groups that will have ownership of the Website:

  1. The VPs of Technology will create an internal team and assign ownership of the website to that team (Website Team)
  2. The VP of Design and Design Team will also be assigned ownership (Design Team)
  3. The VP of Marketing will also be assigned ownership (Marketing Team)
