A major initiative to overhaul the Wall Street Journal Online Briefing Books. This project sought both to redesign and expand them. It launched in January and is one of the most comprehensive sources of Company Research available on the web, offering 20+ pages of information on over companies.

I interacted with market data experts and editors to finalize the site design. I was responsible for documenting all the functional requirements and ensuring that the pages were developed to specification. I acted as primary Information Architect in this role. In so doing, I also facilitated communication between the various teams involved: editorial, graphic design, interaction design, market data experts, programmers, and BigCharts (the company responsible for developing many of the financial charts).

Managing the process
As a component of documenting the site, I developed a web page centralizing access to all relevant documents, graphics, etc. This page was a posting location for new documents, revised documents, and update status information.
