Build Better Games, Faster, Cheaper and Easier with Scrum
Building a game relies on a high performing team. Bringing people from different disciplines together to create a great player experience whilst keeping costs and frustrations low is challenging. Agile and Scrum can be a guide to success, but many in the gaming industry have never seen them used effectively, leading to more command and control, micromanagement and ultimately less delivery of value.
In this session Daniel will cover the essentials of Agile and Scrum, giving you the practical and theoretical grounding to build a better team to develop better games faster, cheaper, and more easily.
By the end of this talk you’ll be able to ditch the painful one hour standup, the micromanaging status updates, the burdensome project management spreadsheets and the exhausting running around checking up on everyone.
Instead you’ll be on the path to having an aligned team who understand the product vision and the delivery plan, trusting the team to get on with what they do best, removing blockers and obstacles and feeling like you’re all in it together whilst building a fantastic player experience.
