Many designers find it challenging to juggle multiple projects. Developing effective management skills could make all the difference. While it’s crucial to remain flexible when unexpected changes arise, having a basic guideline can always help you stay on track. Here’s a simple three-phase approach:
- Break down the project into three phases and further divide each phase into weekly tasks. Try to schedule as many tasks as possible within each week.
- Collaborate with your coworkers by hitting and locking the milestone and discussing progress at the Weekly Standup. Estimate the time needed for each task on a week-by-week basis and plan tasks for the upcoming week accordingly, drawing from insights gained from past projects.
- Maintain regular communication with clients to align postings and gather feedback weekly.
Once a phase is completed, it’s locked, and there’s no going back. Embrace the waterfall methodology, where each phase is dependent on the previous one.
* This approach applies to various projects:
- Motion graphic
- Animatic
- Animation
- Web
- Brand identity
This refined guideline provides a structured and efficient approach to managing projects, ensuring progress and success.
