Session 1: Define your DAM Roadmap and Minimal Viable Product (MVP)
Wednesday, September 8, 2021
8AM PDT / 11AM EDT / 4PM BST / 5PM CEST

It all starts with a shared DAM vision right across your organization. It continues by developing an iterative plan for deploying a DAM program. Both stages require a deep understanding of your organization's current asset management processes. Without that, you cannot determine what your ideal DAM future should look like. This session will walk through how to recognize and deal with the pain points in your existing asset processes and how to fill the gaps. Understanding the pain points and filling the gaps is fundamental to defining the optimal future state of your MVP, creating a phased roadmap for getting there and formulating a vision of subsequent development.
