I started a discussion in October about the similarities between Photography and Project Management, which I didn’t have a moment to complete. It has been a long while since I’ve updated my blog, which is bad! Quite frankly, I’ve just not had the desire to sit in front of my computer after a full day of work, and unfortunately, due to security restrictions at work, I cannot update my blog during the day.
So with the excuses behind me, let me start off by saying I am looking forward to taking this discussion full circle. It will definitely come in multiple chapters.
Why am I making the comparison between Photography and Project Management. Your first thought maybe, well each photography session is a project, which is true. Your second thought maybe project management brings a progressive, natural and logical process to a photography session, which is true too. I’d like to take these two thoughts a level lower.
What we learn in Project Management is that a project has a beginning and an end. Anything ongoing is considered operational and typically does not involve a project manager. A project also has an objective, scope, communications plan, risk plan, etc., which makes up the components of a Project Plan. All these components are necessary and are part of the project life cycle.
Let’s start with the objective…
