One of the most important pieces that glues my workflow together is well developed thought processes, effective decision making skills, and systemized project management.

Project management in the modern project studio is integral.

Here are 5 project management tips.

1. Have goals for each song project.

Remember… In the modern project studio the project IS the project. Make the most of it. Which skills are you working on improving? Are you working on your vocal chops, your melody writing, your production chops?

Is this a passion musical project, or is this an initiative to work on speed of production and efficiency?Remember, sometimes the goal is to just COMPLETE then project. Asking and answering these questions will put you in a small percentage of people who continue to progress at a far more accelerated pace than those who don’t.

Planning and Prioritizing Projects in the Modern Project Studio.

Artist development for the modern musician requires new skills. Some of these fundamental skills can easily go unnoticed, and their importance unbeknown to the individual. The skills of planning and prioritizing are VITAL, now, more than ever. This is the new music business. All the information ever recorded in history is pretty much available, all the tools are out there, those ideas that you have every single day… They’re not going to stop. BUT THATS GOOD! It does however mean that we have to consciously choose what we allow ourselves to focus on. Therefore knowing what matters leads us into how to get there… Which leads us into developing a plan and prioritizing the pieces.
