Project mangement

Project management is the role of ensuring that all aspects of a given production run smoothly by overseeing a number of people/department.

The project manger would ensure that deadlines are met and the brief is followed by liaising with others and holding them to account.

Project Management is the effective planning and running of a project, from the ideas point to the end product and evaluation.

Planning requires an 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 tasks.
3. milestones within the tasks and the overall project.
