Tracking projects through every step to delivery.

As creative work passes through the cycle from initiation to completion, it grows with your team’s ideas, their efforts, and their feedback. As a job winds its way through many stages of development, its goals, specifications, limits, or timeframes can all change, leaving a long paper trail behind the project.

Sparktivity can help your team create an efficient workflow which will streamline daily tasks and significantly reduce stress in a deadline driven environment.

Our workflow optimization strategy for creative teams includes:

• Working with all members of the team to arrive at a single understanding of the group’s existing workflow, a roadmap which we call “The Life Of A Job”.
• Creating a paper-reductive, custom job ticketing system using PDF files which are stored with the job during production and are “frozen” with completed project files when a job is archived.
• Using job tickets to store valuable project metadata like authorship, timeline of client requests, roster of team roles, and project completion details.
• Building specialized checklists and worksheets, designed to accompany the job ticket through the cycle toward completion.
• Centralizing important shared resources (like font management and asset storage) at the server level in order to optimize version control, monitor usage legality, and maintain output reliability.
• Utilizing specialized asset cataloging software to augment the workflow as needed.
• Enhancing the public image of the creative team and its clients by establishing standardized procedures for reliable job output.

Sparktivity can improve record-keeping, timeliness, and accountability on creative deliverables by developing an optimized workflow for your creative professional organization.
