- Define the scope of your specific domain: determine its deliverables, quality objectives, key milestones, and establish development strategies and budgets.
- Put everything in place to prepare for production: develop workflows and pipelines and implement means to facilitate colleague interaction.
- Set clear objectives for your team members and ensure the process for achieving those objectives is as smooth as possible.
- Anticipate risks and implement action plans to overcome them.
- Meet with your team to clarify milestones, prioritize deliverables, review progress, address concerns, provide guidance, gather feedback, etc.
- Synchronize with the producer, production director, and production managers on progress and momentum and track budgets.
- Identify opportunities to improve and evolve our processes, methods, and practices.
- Participate in recruiting to build your team and support its professional development and career progression.
