Manage Creative Content.

This presentation provides an overview of the challenges and opportunities when managing creative content projects. It will outline the major differences a project manager might encounter when managing this kind of project versus projects in more traditional sectors. Using the Project Management Body of Knowledge (PMBOK ®) Framework from the Project Management Institute, Sylvain will discuss the creative content environment, the tools, the techniques and more importantly, the soft skills required to be successful.

Managing creative content projects is exciting because it happens in a fast pace and stimulating environment. For certain project managers used to other industries, it means to be more open minded in order to develop management tools adapted to this unique reality and to have a strong capability to adapt to a constantly changing environment! At the end of this presentation you should be able to decide: Is this for you?
