Project Management

Definition

Project Management is the application of processes, methods, skills, knowledge, and experience to achieve specific project objectives within agreed parameters. In creative operations, project management involves planning and scheduling creative projects, allocating resources, managing budgets, coordinating between team members and stakeholders, tracking progress, managing risks, and ensuring that deliverables are completed on time and to the required quality. Common project management methodologies used in creative operations include Agile, Scrum, and Waterfall.

Contextual Usage

The creative operations manager implements a new project management system: "We're moving all our project tracking to a new platform. Every project will have a dedicated project brief, a task list with assigned owners and due dates, and a shared folder for all project assets. This will give everyone visibility into the status of every project and help us identify bottlenecks before they become problems."
