In every multimedia production, the project plan is needed to build the product. The principles for successful project management of multimedia productions are as below.

Producing

This is the first step of the multimedia productions. For the multimedia developers, this plan is doing the construction work which is the hands-on of creation. They will contend with important and continuing organizing the tasks.

Starting up

Before you start the multimedia project, many important ways that need to check up. For examples, development hardware and software, review organizational, administrative setup. These are very important to ensure your project is working before you begin to do the project. Not only this, to prepare a complete and perfect project, there are some others matters that you need to pay attention to. For example, 512 MB of RAM and 80G of hard disk storage is the least condition of doing a multimedia project. As a multimedia developers, you need to backup of critical files as you won't lost your project. You need to have the latest version of software also.

Working with Clients

To work with clients, you must be sure that the organization of project incorporates a system for good communication between you and the clients as well as among the people actually building the project. Make sure that you provide a good management to avoid endless feedback loops from the clients. On the other hand, if you provide a good project, it will build trust between you and your clients. It develops a scheme that specifies the number and duration of client approval cycles. Multimedia projects need high-capacity storage media, so Zip, Jaz, DAT should be used that the clients be able to review your works easily.

Tracking

You must organize a method for tracking the receipt of material that you will incorporate into your multimedia project. A logical names always give to the files and develop a file-naming convention specific to your project's structure Store the files in directories of folders. Version control of your files need to work on your project also. You must always make sure that use the same version to do your project. Besides, make sure that you remember where you save the files. So that you can find back your files without any problems.

Copyrights

Copyright was also one of the principles to success project management in multimedia production. A copyright statement should be included in the multimedia package to warn user against copyright violation. We have to insert a copyright statement in our project clearly and ilegally but the code and programming techniques must remain accessible for study, learning and tweaking by others

Hazards & Annoyances

We have to control our emotion and prepared to accept them and solve them. Even though you are the experienced producer and developers or you feel your product do very well but you have to follow what client’s request. That because small annoyance can become serious distractions. So as a producer we have to avoid those problems that may be encounter during the production phase such as missed deadline, too many custom coded routines and meetings, accept criticisms from clients and many more.
