4. Contingencies- Back up plan/ideas; alternative option

• The best way to manage media projects is to create a production schedule. This brings together logistic and resource details and includes all tasks, milestones and the time-scales and deadlines and allows the tracking of progress.
• This is shared with all members of the production team and contains details of the initial proposal, key milestones agreed with the client as well as final deadlines.
