Manage creative projects
In this course, we’ll break down concepts that can be adapted to many work situations and office environments in order to help you stay on top of your work. We’ll explore creative project management through the lens of UX, but these ideas can be applied to any industry.
This course will examine concepts, tricks, and tools for staying organized and collaborating across teams. From creative briefs to road maps, we’ll walk through ways to prepare for projects, stay organized, manage time, and guide expectations. We’ll also explore ways to maximize collaboration through clear communication, feedback, and documentation.
We'll consider situations like how to handle a new person who joins a project or team, how to pass along information to developers, and how to prioritize multiple projects at once. The topics covered in this course will help make you ready for the real world!
