Stakeholder Alignment & Pre-Production

home portfolio contact post-production

Complex productions need alignment before execution begins. I turn business objectives, audience needs, stakeholder input, creative direction and delivery requirements into a shared production plan.

One method I’ve developed with clients is what I call Discovery Boarding. The Discovery Board acts as a living source of truth for the project. It aligns teams around scope, messaging, responsibilities, assets, budget, schedule, review milestones and final deliverables. It also surfaces risks and unresolved questions early which reduces avoidable revisions and protecting both timelines and budgets.

Built in FigJam, the board gives internal teams, agency partners, executives and production specialists one collaborative workspace. Participants do not need a Figma account.

FigJam files are not optimized for Mobile, but you can preview a Discovery Board below.

A Discovery Board can align:

  • Business objectives and success criteria

  • Target audiences and key messages

  • Creative references and brand requirements

  • Budget, schedule and production milestones

  • Deliverables, versions and technical specifications
