I would like to create a map production workflow list for my GIS colleagues at a local public authority. When someone orders a map, I would like to have a kind of check list where we can just run through the standard questions and write them into an excel table. This would help us keep a record of what maps we have acually made, which datasets were used, who does the mapping, and a production history which is good for time management purposes. I was thinking around the lines of creating a mask in an excel table including "Purpose","target Audience", "Output medium", "size", "Scale/resolution requirements", "Title", "north arrow"..etc...
Has anyone created something similar? Does this seem useful? Does anyone have similar documents which I could look at and compare?
