Hi,
Question: Are there any resources that might
show how to apply film production methodologies
to the management of IT projects?
Background:
After having 33+ years in computing in a wide
range of organizations, I had the opportunity to
be the lead on a viz centre. The company that did
the actual design, install and set up of the
system downstream of the video card outputs all
the way to the rear-projected, active-stereo
projection system had strong ties to Hollywood
productions.At least two of the folks involved,
the viz centre designer and the viz centre
builder actually had recurring jobs working on
movie productions _ set design and set construction.
In a phrase, I was absolutely blown away by
the professionalism, amazing competence, and
ability to work around problems on the fly shown
by the Hollywood types.It was unlike anything
that I had ever seen in dealing with IT
management in my 33+ years experience.
