Multimedia project planning is a complex problem (England and Finney, 1999). Any significant multimedia project involves a core team that includes: producer, writer, and director, who work with other personnel, such as, programmer, photographer, videographer, and voiceover artists (Elin, 2001). Close coordination between these team members is essential. The Multimedia Design and Planning Pyramid (MUDPY) is a five-level model (Figure 1) in which the top three levels comprise the project planning process (Sharda, 2004). The planning process should begin by articulating a clear Concept statement, and then expand it into Goals and Requirements.
