Software development and audiovisual archiving are surprisingly similar in many ways. Specifications, file naming, hierarchies, relational materials, metadata, data management, discoverability, storage, use cases, strict standards, best practices, and 3rd party requirements are applicable to both fields and can be applied quite similarly in a lot of cases. Correspondingly, project management between the two fields isn’t much different. Using the Austin City Limits Archive as a case study, this discussion will cover how these two fields intersect, what methods can be shared and how software project management tools, such as Agile, can be applied successfully in tracking and managing an audiovisual archive project to completion.
