The role of a Producer in game development is fraught with challenges that demand a fine balance of strategic foresight, people management, and operational agility. Additionally, a solution that works for one company/team might not work for another.
In this microtalk session about Solving Production Problems, we'll dig into a few different classic Production issues and offer an opportunity for experienced Producers to share how they resolved (or survived) some of the most challenging hurdles they face in their roles and on their projects as well as what worked or didn't work for their teams.

through exposure to different production techniques
Intended Audience
Producers, Project Managers and Production Managers looking to enhance their skills and navigate the complexities of game production with greater confidence and effectiveness, as well as those looking to better understand the role of Production in navigating development challenges on smaller teams.
