Summary
We now move into the execution stage of the project. This is the stage that most people commonly associate with exhibition project management. The designers are at work, loans start arriving and the exhibition is built. In Part 3 we will look in more detail at the design process after concept design, and what you need to do to manage the on-site work successfully. At this stage the project starts to become visible to others in the museum. It can be fast paced and sometimes quite physically demanding as you spend more time on site than in the office. You will need to carve out time to keep the paperwork in order, keeping the programme on track and being meticulous about the budget and risk management (for more on this see Part 6, Key Project Management Skills). The two chapters in Part 3 look at the second and third stages of the design work – scheme design and detailed design – and the work on site as the exhibition is built.
