Requirements
Our current Product Pages are not serving the needs of our audience, or our Business Unit partners. The audience needs these pages to be more focused on Quickstart material, the BUs need us to tell more complex stories that include product portfolios, solution selling, and the connection with the upstream needs to be more explicit. One more important detail: we're coordinating this work with red-hat-doc-com (RHDC) who is overhauling their product pages at the same time—the idea is that we'll be cross-linking pages in order to take the weight off of each site to have to be all things to all people.
tnolan & gdoyle-1 have started the primary research on this work…see their results in these two documents below.
