Production Plan

Products

For my products, I have separate file, a MS Word document at the moment, that tracks works in progress and works on hold.

The Process

The production process will cover the entire lifetime of a work. Right now, it covers up through digital publication.

(At some point in the future I’ll write a blog post by converting a rather huge table covering the process, but for now let’s summarize)

The major steps of the process:

1. Draft
2. Book-ready
3. Release-ready
4. Launch
5. Post-launch

The areas of business:

1. Product
2. Production
3. Marketing
4. Publicity

And, just for your viewing pleasure, here’s a visual image of where the bulk of the work is at each point (as I see it).
