[Request]: Update mentions of Path Analysis phase

nicoleslaw opened this issue · comments

A description of the work

The UX Guide mentions the newly renamed phase of Path Analysis. I would recommend updating these references, for example: https://guides.18f.gov/ux-guide/our-approach/stay-lean/

This may also appear in other guides.

  • Update language and links as needed per BD

Acceptance Criteria

  • Mentions of path analysis are updated throughout the guides

I think there may be other mentions of project types and phases elsewhere in the guide, do they also need updating? https://18f.gsa.gov/work-with-us/

@claireb-gsa Yes! I had a task in the ticket to audit for all of the mentions.

@adunkman prioritizing this as it is fixing outdated content on our website.

I propose this gets merged into #771 "work with us" web content since we're clarifying offering names there. I can take this on as part of that issue.

As this gets moving, just a reminder that our named service offerings (Path Analysis, Strategy Development) are different than the execution of our approach (start with a discovery phase) — we haven’t always been consistent with this.

Path Analysis -> Strategy Development makes sense for service offerings; Path Analysis -> Discovery makes sense for approaches. Happy to help disambiguate as needed!

In the guides I only found 4 mentions of PA (one needed to be changed to discovery vs strat dev) Links are updated to https://18f.gsa.gov/work-with-us/ for strat dev (it was mentioned that the strat page may move and this was a safer option...)

I created a PR, where the changes can be reviewed.
