The Magic Milestones team at the BBC have been working hard over the last few months alongside World Service Future Media to re-launch 12 of their language sites in 1024 format and in a new, improved Content Management System.
Following on from the launches of BBCPersian.com and BBCBrasil.com, the team have had a launch-crazy last 6 weeks, launching 5 more sites.
BBCVietnamese.com, BBCUrdu.com, BBCWorldService.com, BBCMundo.com and BBCRussian.com were all project managed by members of the Magic Milestones team, and were all run according to Agile Methodology.
The sites are mainly news sites focusing on getting cutting edge journalism to all over the world, with the exception of BBCWorldService.com which is a support site for the extensive World Service radio network.
The intensity of the project put many demands on the team, and it’s a testament to their dedication and hard work that the sites look fabulous and that they managed to keep up the pace during this busy time.
Of course the hard work doesn’t stop here, and all involved have quickly moved on to working on the next wave of language sites to go 1024. Watch this space…
Project Management for the project was provided by Magic Milestones, in the shape of our very own Director, Stephanie Chamberlain. The project not only delivered an award-winning website on time and budget but also a new content management system for the journalists updating it.
