Session Name:

Production Traps: How Producers and Leaders Get Stuck

Overview:

In this talk, Ben identifies the traps that keep producers from being as effective as they could be. He also explains how to escape these "production traps" and what producers and leaders should be doing instead.We are solving the wrong problems in game dev. While our teams struggle with morale, face unrealistic expectations, and have little connection to the vision of the game, too often producers are tweaking the team's process and making sure to send the sprint report on time.We can have a much larger positive impact. It's time to reframe our role as producers and leaders and start helping our teams build better games.
