3. Project Analysis

Project analysis can take many forms. A quick analysis, meant to simply paint a picture of the work to be performed, will sometimes be enough. In other cases, a deep analysis, which may be factored into the negotiation process (perhaps even as the basis for a future project), may be required.

The analysis must determine:

- the project type;

- its components;

- the production stages;

- the necessary resources.
