Concept: Creating multimedia is a disciplined engineering process. Vaughan outlines a lifecycle that ensures projects finish on time and within budget.
The 4 Phases:
| Activity | Key Questions from Vaughan | | :--- | :--- | | Needs Analysis | Who is the audience? What hardware will they use? | | Concept Statement | What is the single goal of this project? | | Budget & Schedule | What is the cost of tools, talent, and time? | | Flowchart & Storyboard | How does the user move? What does each screen look like? |
Vaughan’s Tip: "A project that fails in planning will fail three times over in production."
