Every company and project is unique, making it necessary to look closely at the needs of each project. When tackling the Delivery Requirements List, breaking it down into sections is essential to keep track of what needs to be completed and when. As technology and the industry continue to progress, the Delivery Requirements List will also progress, making it essential for any professional to stay informed and updated.
The devil is in the detail, and that is especially true in the world of Film & TV. Each project demands its own special attention, as every detail and specification is integral to the success of the project. For example, the type of delivery and where it is being delivered to may differ greatly from one project to the next. Ignoring or disregarding these requirements and specifications can result in costly delays and errors.
It is always important to review and understand each point of the Delivery Requirements List, so one can be sure that what is being delivered is up to standard and will meet the client’s expectations. When working on any project, it is always important to be proactive in understanding and staying informed of the changing Delivery Requirements List. Paying attention to these changes and updates is necessary for any PPS who wants to be on the front foot, not the back foot!
