Project Management for Creatives

“We’ve now come to the end of my course! Thanks for going on a journey through the world of project management with me. I hope you feel confident to put together your own timing and project plan following the brief I’ve shared with you. It’s an example of something I’ve been sent before. It really shows you how important it is to ask questions. Feel free to do whatever timing plan works best for your project and always remember to stay positive. There is no such thing as an unsolvable problem. We started this course by learning about my creative background, my career in advertising, and the people that inspired me throughout my life. I then explained to you the role of project management by walking you through the different stages of a project and professing my love of Gantt charts. I then taught you to interrogate a brief, ask all the right questions. It’s important to speak up if you don’t understand something, chances are somebody else doesn’t either! We then worked on establishing the phases of your project before creating the all-important timing plan using Google Sheets and Smart Sheets. I also showed you how to create a project plan to show your process to new clients and we talked about how important it is to schedule meetings in your colour coordinated calendar to get the project moving. After following all these steps you should be all set to manage any project successfully but just in case things don’t go as planned, and let’s be honest they hardly ever do, I also told you how to manage expectations and remain solution-focused. Finally, we made sure that you know how to work with media plans to deliver your project correctly and how to file everything away once a project is done and dusted. And that’s it! I can’t wait to see all your killer project plans! Remember to share your progress in the forum, you can always learn a lot from other project managers on the course. I’ll check in from time to time to answer questions and offer support. Bye! ”
