What’s your
roleteamorg becoming?
Work is having
an identity crisis.
Jobs are changing faster than anyone can describe them, and it’s hard to see what anyone is actually doing.
Joy reads the work, holds it to a standard, and shows what each person brings.
Better work, made together.
Joy standards.
Six questions asked against your work.
Joy reads the piece itself, not a description of it, and asks the same six whatever the work is and whoever made it. A colleague would ask them out loud. Joy asks them every time.
- Marketing
- Sales
- Product
- Strategy
- Design
- Engineering
- People
- More being written
- Does it do its job?Whatever you said the piece is for, it does that. This one runs first, and nothing else matters until it passes.
- Can the reader act?It is clear what they should know, decide or do next. Off for a sketch or a draft you are keeping to yourself.
- Is it clear to that reader?They would understand it on first read. Judged for the person it is going to, not for a stranger.
- Is it true?Facts have a source, beliefs are labelled as beliefs, and what nobody knows is said plainly. A labelled belief passes.
- Is it yours?Somebody stood behind it. Joy can see that a person decided. It cannot see who typed, and it does not ask.
- Does it fit its occasion?The right form, length and finish for where it is going. A one-page note is not held to the bar of a campaign.
Underneath these questions are safe and responsible use questions, and above are the craft standard, picked from the work, not the department who made it.
