App Operations Playbook
When it comes to running a campus app (or any process), it’s best to have solid documentation to refer to.
The Problem:
You don’t know who does what to maintain the app
You can’t remember what needs to be done (or how to do it)
You need to build timelines and workflows, but don’t have the time to assess
all that comes with that process
The Goal:
A comprehensive document built for referencing processes and flows. This could include:
Core Content Areas
App configuration workflows (updating settings, managing org/club records, enabling/disabling features)
Content publishing processes (who approves what, review cycles, archiving old content)
User access and role management (adding admins, removing leavers, permission tiers)
Event and form management (creation standards, approval chains, closing out past events)
Academic year rollover procedures (resetting orgs, archiving, setting up new year)
Operational / Staff-Facing
Onboarding new staff to the app admin side
Troubleshooting common user issues and escalation paths
Communication templates for announcements to students
Data export and reporting routines (engagement data, org rosters, etc.)
Governance
Who owns what in the app
How decisions about feature changes get made
Vendor relationship management (who contacts Ready Education support, when, how)
How I Can Help:
I build a custom operations and documentation guide.
Investment:
Starting at $3,000. Multi-department or multi-process builds are scoped to fit.
Deliverables:
Timeline:
Approx. 2-3 weeks
User Testing Add On
One of the most overlooked part of any process is making sure the process works. Using a three part process, I work with a small set of actual users to measure the effectiveness of it all. At the end of the testing, I will provide a set of deliverables, recommendations and more.
