Large scale multimedia production management: from strategic planning to six sigma

Abstract

[EN] Project portfolio management of large scale multimedia production emerges today as a challenge both for the enrichment of traditional classroom teaching and for distance education. Strategic planning of projects involves developing methodologies, reference models and processes while organising project management offices (PMOs) in the perspective of optimising the use of available resources in an organization. In this way, this paper presents a proposal of a project management model for digital content production for educational purposes named EduPMO, an abbreviation of "Educational Project Management Office". The paper includes a discussion on how to pair Six Sigma with project management best practices as a way to improve processes. (C) 2012 Published by Elsevier Ltd.
