I am looking for resources that would help me learn to run a web design/production shop. I understand project management, but I am not familiar with resource forecasting.
Some questions I need to answer at work:
-Can we take on project x if it takes 100 coding hours, 60 design hours, and 14 editorial considering the work we currently have on our plates
-How much free time do the designers have next week
-(from an editorial lead perspective) what is my team working on and how are individuals spending their time?
Any templates would be very much appreciated.
side question: Is this similar to how ad agencies are managed?
