Learn More About DAM
Once you've seen a need for digital asset management, it's been prioritized, and the team is in place you can get started defining your ideal DAM program based on organizational needs, goals, budget, and staff requirements.
This stage is about gaining a clearer picture of where you'd like to start in DAM, otherwise known as your minimum viable product (MVP). On day one of your digital asset management program's launch, what exists? What are the top priorities for you and your end users? When is it launched, and to whom?
Goals & Activities

- Educate your stakeholders on the basics of DAM, its benefits, core roles, and foundational tools.

Common Mistakes
- Focusing solely on specific departmental issues and/or short-term initiatives (i.e. “Tunnel Vision”)
- Defining DAM as only a platform or a one-time project instead of as an ongoing program that serves all end-users.
- Not aligning basic DAM principles with broader organizational goals and/or guidelines.
