Salesforce-DART Implementation and Integration
About the Project
In February 2008, I began work on the implementation of DoubleClick’s DART Sales Manager (DSM). The first step of the process required interviewing the ad operations and analytics team. The ad ops team was already using DoubleClick’s DART for Publishers (DFP) for approximately one year. In order to best implement DSM to fit the needs of the ad ops team, I had to first understand how they were using DFP, what worked well, and what they grappled with most. The second major set of requirements were gathered from senior management regarding their workflow requirements and reporting requirements.

A few quick general guidelines on spec-writing structure. Almost every sentence you write will be in the format:
- “System should …”
- “User can …”
- “User must …”
- “If user …, then system…”
- “If system…, then user…”
