This thesis aims to analyze existing project management strategies within the context of multimedia projects and develop a new, improved methodology. It investigates the unique challenges posed by multimedia project development and assesses the suitability of existing approaches.
Introduction: This chapter introduces the thesis topic, outlines the hypotheses and expected findings, and provides essential definitions of multimedia, its various types and forms, and project management itself. It lays the groundwork for subsequent chapters by establishing a clear understanding of the terminology and the scope of the research. The chapter delves into the different categories of multimedia products and their various delivery methods, setting the stage for a comprehensive discussion on the unique needs of managing such diverse projects.
The Historical Development of Project Management: This chapter explores the evolution of project management philosophies, tracing their progression from ancient practices to modern approaches. It examines the underlying principles and methodologies that have shaped the field, providing a historical context for the current practices. The chapter concludes by highlighting the key shifts in thinking and the lasting impacts on contemporary project management.
The Components of a Project Management Method: This chapter details the core components of a robust project management methodology, focusing on the project management context, the project life cycle, and various key processes involved. The detailed discussion of project integration, scope, time, cost, quality, human resource, communication, risk, and procurement management provides a comprehensive framework for effective project execution. The chapter emphasizes the interconnectedness of these elements and their crucial roles in overall project success.
The Necessity of Project Management: This chapter argues for the indispensable role of structured project management, contrasting the often subconscious management of projects with the benefits of a defined methodology. It highlights the advantages, such as improved efficiency, reduced risks, and enhanced stakeholder satisfaction, that a well-defined method brings to the project execution. This section makes a powerful case for adopting formal project management practices.
Existing Information on Multimedia Project Management: This chapter presents a thorough review of existing literature and industry practices related to multimedia project management. It draws upon interviews conducted with key players in the field and examines several published works and online resources, summarizing their findings and insights. This chapter critically analyses various approaches found in the literature and provides a basis for comparison to the proposed new methodology.
The Suitability of Existing Methods for the New Concept: This chapter compares traditional project management methods with the unique demands of multimedia project development. It assesses the strengths and limitations of existing approaches, such as software development methodologies, and identifies areas where adaptation or a new approach is necessary. This chapter lays the foundation for justifying the need for the new concept developed in subsequent chapters.
The Development of the New Concept: This chapter presents the new multimedia project management methodology developed in the thesis. It details the rationale behind the chosen method, its core components, and the specific adaptations made to accommodate the multifaceted nature of multimedia projects. This chapter provides a detailed account of the proposed method, its unique features, and its expected impact on project management in the multimedia industry. This section also describes the proposed "Multimedia Pathways" and explains the alterations made to adapt them for the specific needs of multimedia projects, detailing changes to both the life cycle and processes.
