The document discusses project management in digital content production processes. It begins by defining production models, including the cascade model and evolutive model. It then details the content production process, including roles like subject matter experts, instructional designers, and project managers. Finally, it discusses tools for project management, such as work breakdown structures, Gantt charts, and PERT charts.

Editor's Notes
Over the course of any construction project, the work scope may change. Changes can be the result of necessary design modifications, differing site conditions, material availability, contractor-requested changes, value engineering and impacts from third parties, to name a few. When changes are introduced to the project, the viability of the project has to be re-assessed. It is important not to lose sight of the initial goals and targets of the projects. When the changes accumulate, the forecasted result may not justify the original proposed investment in the project.

The time constraint refers to the amount of time available to complete a project. The cost constraint refers to the budgeted amount available for the project. The scope constraint refers to what must be done to produce the project's end result. These three constraints are often competing constraints: increased scope typically means increased time and increased cost, a tight time constraint could mean increased costs and reduced scope, and a tight budget could mean increased time and reduced scope.
Gantt realized that breaking down a process into precise phases made control easier, and that some activities could be executed concurrently, thus saving time and resources.
