the team's goal.

Five Phases of Project Management (Adapted from the ICT Project
Management by Institutional and Sector Modernization Facility)

• Initiating - An overview of the objectives of the project, needs, and

the problem is identified. It is where you create the project charter
with the Project Manager assigned to the project.

• Planning - This is where a successful project conclusion is worked

out by the project manager and the project team. The team
brainstorms the ICT theme to be published, together with the
collaborative tools and online platforms to be used.
• Executing - This is where the project team goes about executing the
project plan once the project plan has been constructed. The curation of
ICT content may occur in this phase for quality assurance. Content
writers and editors are essential in this phase. After all the preparation
has been done, publishing the ICT content online may now take place.

• Monitoring and Controlling - This is where the project manager

monitors and controls the work for a time, cost, scope, quality, risk, and
other factors while the project is being executed. It is also an ongoing
process that ensures that the project meets its focus for each project
objective. Other members, primarily the web developer, may work in this
phase collaboratively with the project manager.
• Closing- This happens when each
phase is ended and when each entire
project is concluded. It happens to
ensure that all the work has been
finished, completed, and approved.
Curating Existing Content for Use on the Web Content
curation
• is the process of publicly gathering, organizing,
adding value, and openly sharing digital information
artifacts on a specific topic or area of audience
interest. It intends to add your personal touch, as the
creator, to a handpicked collection of content. They
are gathered from a variety of sources, in a specific
topic, that you publish and share with your audience
wherever they may be.
Creating and Choosing Valuable ICT Content The
success of an online portal, page, or website is
dependent upon its content. The content must
be exciting and worthy of the time of the specific
audience. Thus, in developing ICT content, the
team must consider the following steps in
creating and choosing valuable ICT content.
1.Define your objectives: specify the main goal that
needs to be promoted in your content.
2. Research and analyze: extract information from
different resources regarding the topic you want to
write.
3. Organize the structure of your article: give an
overview of your topic to help readers understand
what your topic is.
4. Summarize and proofread: create a summary of
the information you have gathered and analyzed to
make sure your article is free of graphical errors.
Three (3) Rules in Creating Quality Content

• Informative – it should provide valuable and useful

information to the reader.
• Interesting - it should catch the readers' attention from the
title to the last part of your content.
• Relevant – it should reflect how much you know the subject
of your content enough and who it is being written to make it
relevant to both.
