Project Management

JRMC 7011e • Summer 2022

The project management course is one of the first introductory courses you take once you start the Emerging Media masters. It presents a range of approaches to project management techniques and methods that are used in the modern design and development industry. The primary form of project management we first looked at was Agile, but as a class, we explored several variations of Agile project management such as Crystal. Additionally, we spent a significant portion of the class learning about the 5 day Sprint - going from ideation to functioning prototype within a single work week. Finally, we formed our groups for the EM capstone project, which would last until the program's end next May. The last several weeks were spent ideating, researching, and preparing to fully start these projects for the fall term. My group was tasked with creating a new podcast for a client. Titled 'Georgia Greatness', the podcast aims to highlight the partnerships between the state of Georgia and the Univeristy of Georgia.

Over these few months, I learned a lot about managing a team and project through these different methods. This course is instrumental in setting up the next term of the EM masters.
