Team Members

• Project Manager: Coordinates the team and keeps project on track
• Biology Teachers: Develop video content and ensure accuracy
• Video Producers: Handle filming, editing and post-production
• Graphic Designers: Create engaging visuals and animations

Project Management Strategies

• Hold a kickoff meeting to align on project goals, roles and timeline
• Use a shared project management tool to track tasks and deliverables
• Have regular check-in meetings to discuss progress and issues
• Foster open communication and collaboration between team members
• Identify a biology teacher to serve as the "product owner" to provide direction and make key decisions
• Allow buffer time in the schedule for unexpected delays or challenges
• Conduct quality checks at each phase before moving forward

Risk Mitigation

• Ensure biology content is reviewed for accuracy before filming
• Have backup team members in case of absence or turnover
• Secure necessary budget, equipment and talent ahead of time
• Test videos with sample student audience and gather feedback
• Develop a clear distribution and promotion plan to drive viewership

Recommended Tools

• Asana for project management and task tracking
• Google Drive for document collaboration and storage
  
• Frame.io for video review and feedback
• Vyond for creating animated explainer videos

The key to success will be tight coordination between the biology experts, video producers and designers. By planning ahead, communicating frequently, and staying focused on creating engaging and accurate educational content, this project has the potential to make a meaningful impact for high school biology students.
