A few years ago I stumbled upon a well known success principle of setting goals. I never developed a habit of writing goals down, having targets, and all of that fancy pudding when I was a kid – so this really wasn’t my forte. Throughout the years, people (much wiser than me) had been telling me: write your goals down, put it in writing. But somehow I thought there was something endlessly uncool about writing my dreams and desires on a piece of paper. Well, like with most other things – I was wrong.

A lot of research points to teams being the most basic building block of organizations. A few of the reasons for this are: teams are more productive, they make better decisions, and they create better products and provide better services. Ultimately, this leads to more engaged staff.

In this last part of the 6-phase multimedia development process, we look at delivery and project closure phases in more detail. At this stage most of the work has been completed and we are concerned only with making sure that the correct people have access to the work we have produced.

Having a process for repetitive tasks is an obvious solution. Once you’ve gone through the same (or at least similar) steps in producing a multimedia project, you start to realise that you could probably put a step-by-step process that will help you guide your next project.
