Purpose

This document outlines the key processes and policies for DXT projects utilizing Adobe Test & Target. 


Important Notes

  • Pursuing Test & Target projects requires sign-off from Target governance group (Farid, Sam, and Jess)
  • Test & Target implementation will not begin until design has been fully signed off and approved.
  • Additional time may be required to:
    • build out experience if multiple instances are needed
    • work within Adobe Target constraints
    • publish any HTML images used in a test. These will need to be published to production via WCS prior to tests being built in Target
  • Launching timeline of testing experiences will depend on Analytics availability/calendar. Score/prioritization will be more strongly enforced.

Policies and Procedures
