Speedy Development Intranet development timelines are getting shorter. This year’s average of 14 months (or 1.2 years) is the shortest yet for our Intranet Design Annual winners. Since 2014, the average intranet project has taken 16.1 months, or 1.3 years; as opposed to the average from 2001 to present, which is 33.6 months or 2.8 years.
Today’s intranet projects often involve iterative development, which makes it hard to calculate project time as sites are in a state of constant improvement.
Faster development strategies, such as Agile, contribute to shorter times, as do continually improving website development tools. For example, 2 of this year’s winners used “intranet-in-a-box” solutions that were quickly deployed in 7 and 10 months, respectively.
