Project Management

What is project management? 
Managing your project into sections to achieve the objectives set out
to complete your end project

Planning requires a outline of the tasks, deadlines and milestones that will be required to manage the project efficiently.

A project timeline schedule would need to be created for the creation of the media product to include
1. tasks that need to be done
2. deadlines for each task
3. milestones within the tasks and the overall project

Project management tools:
Gantt Chart- uses horizontal bars to illustrate project completion dates, progress, milestones and dependencies.
Production Schedule - Excel
To do lists
Workflow tool: split by team member to see who is doing what
