Where the pitfalls lurk:
- In the complexity of creative technology.
- In the different types of team structures involved in this kind of work - from small project teams to large multi-vendor projects.
- In standard project processes - from pre-production to installation and support.
- In the scoping and research process - common issues encountered.
- In all the phases in R&D
Guidance on avoiding the pitfalls:
- Creative tech is not a monolith; it is a spectrum of disciplines.
- Project complexity can be broken down from a scary set of unknowns to a set of manageable variables and processes.
- Possession of a foundational understanding of project phases, from initial discovery to installation.
- Deep and comprehensive familiarity with common project artifacts and an awareness of what the potential pitfalls are and when, why, where and how they are most likely to be presented.
