Abstract

Context may be an important factor in understanding project management practices in both traditional and non-traditional project areas. It may not only be important in the type of practices that are appropriate but also the form these practices take as well as their challenges. One such non-traditional and unexplored context is filmmaking. Two case studies are explored. The first is Cleopatra, a film made over 50 years ago and the second John Carter, a more recent film that opened in 2012. What becomes apparent from the case studies of film projects separated by five decades is that the context of filmmaking is challenged by at least nine key factors including feasibility, governance, evidence, risk, teams, scheduling, metrics, scope and control.
