Creative Team Management

Creative Team Management

Here is a handy tool for tracking creative deliverables. I worked as both Project Manager and UX Architect on two projects over the last 3 months. We had an informal system of verbal check-ins to understand the status of a given item. While this worked just fine for our small team, we had no “big picture” view and ran the risk of missing something that had been requested or promised as we rushed to deliver, refine and evolve.

I believe in using the minimum structure necessary to accomplish our goals. We need a tight knit team with good communication, an in-person, human centered and participatory process. But in order to contribute to our PM toolbox, and as a design challenge, I whipped this up in a couple hours. Feel free to have a look: Creative Team Project Management (Spreadsheet)
