Basically, in producing a multimedia project a success, the time and
estimated cost must be taken seriously in order to ensure that the project is
done in the estimating time. The project designing must be included in the
chart for example we choose Gantt chart. Accurate time estimation is a
crucial skill in project management. Without it, we don't know how long your
project will take, and another problem that will occur is we are unable to get
commitment from the people who need to sign it off. The creativity of the
group members is also one of the important things to make the project looks
more attractive. In order to make it looks creative and what we want, a lot of
time need to be taken care of. We have to set certain period of time to make
sure that the project must be finished in the period of time.
