Project Management
View examples of the project management techniques used for Sony Entertainment Pictures. The goal for this project was to install an automated "props" rental system for the warehouse. Each week, a brief was scheduled, focused meetings with the warehouse personnel, IT department representatives, and the vendor.

Management
Presentations
Periodically, in managing a project, business or other non-technical analysis will need to be done. Even though the analysis may be non-technical, the tools required to produce the information and the underlying skills needed to interpret the data are often highly technical in nature.

The Project
Design
Document
forms a
basis for
the
documentation,
so a year
from now
clients know
how to make
changes and
maintain the
systems. The
proposed
software
application
will measure
Commission
Distribution,
i.e., “Why
are we
getting this
business,
and who gets
credited?”
The goal is
to automate
as much of
the process
as possible
to save time
and reduce
errors. In
addition,
the
reporting
capabilities
will be
designed to
simplify and
improve
handling of
“exceptions”.

system. The
system was
in current
use and was
fully
developed as
a prototyped
"proof of

system. This
project
included a
basic

which
consisted of
approximately
10
PowerPoint
slides
outlining
the system
design. Text
described
the

This sample
includes a VB
Application that
displays
metadata (text)
and extracts any
.EXE’s. An
Operator presses
“Accept” or
“Reject”;
Accept sends
text to an
external
mechanical
system, and
provides a hard
copy option.
EXE’s are sent
to a staging
server. An
email is sent to
an external
mechanical
system operator.
