• Context, needs and strategic objectives study
• Analysis of business, functional and technical aspects of the project
• Search for alternative solutions to reduce costs
• Feasibility study based on budget and schedule allocated

STEP 2 : Supervising the bidding process

• Identify contractors who meet the criteria for the project
• Obtain competing bids from agencies and other contractors
• Help the client understand proposals (relevance, recommendations, creative approach, technological options, etc.)
• Assess selected companies (skills, methodology, experience, references, etc.).

STEP 3 : Study and negociate budget proposals

• Study the estimate item by item (management, creation, design, engineering, integration, staff training, etc.)
•  Analyze the terms proposed (qualifications and experience of contributors, days per item, daily rates, subcontracting mark-up, payment times, etc.).
• Check inferred or hidden costs (artwork purchases, translation expenses, software license, maintenance, hosting, etc.)
• Study legal clauses (guarantee period, ownership, rights for use, adaptation and reproduction, guarantees, etc.)

STEP 4 : Guarantee project launch

• Define the organization and the contributors’ roles (steering committee, schedule, meetings, approvals, etc.).
• Define the scope of the project (graphic uniformity, storyboard, studio, technical and operational requirements).
• Check the consistency between the initial proposal and the scope chosen in terms of resources, scheduling, and budget.

STEP 5 : Supervise production

• Track progress of main production phases (creation, design, engineering, integration, etc.).
• Check production company’s commitments and compliance with delivered solutions (acceptance).
• Manage any risks of going over budget or schedule.
