/CC.m1.lb3 What You’ll Learn
Section titled “What You’ll Learn”- Identify appropriate folder architecture patterns for different work types (content creation, client projects, research, events)
- Design a specialised project structure using numbered folder conventions
- Create a reusable template library for project structures within the knowledge vault
Key Concepts
Section titled “Key Concepts”| Concept | Description |
|---|---|
| Content Creation Pattern | A folder structure following the creative workflow from brief through research, drafts, assets to final deliverable |
| Client/Stakeholder Pattern | A structure mapping to engagement phases: admin, discovery, planning, delivery, and feedback |
| Research/Analysis Pattern | A structure following the research process: question, sources, notes, analysis, conclusions |
| Event/Campaign Pattern | A structure for time-bound activities with overview, planning, promotion, execution, and review phases |
| Numbered Folder Conventions | Using two-digit prefixes (00, 01, 02) to ensure folders sort in workflow order rather than alphabetically |
| Template Library | A collection of reusable folder structures stored in Resources for quick project setup |
| README | A project hub document containing overview, contacts, objectives, and folder guide for quick orientation |

Eureka Moment
Section titled “Eureka Moment”“The numbers aren’t about priority - they’re about workflow! 00-admin comes first because I set up admin before discovery. Now every project will show my stages in the right order, automatically.”
