Managing the largest team to-date

In the peer-nominated position of Lead Producer, I'm currently faced with the management of 37 team members creating a well-scoped game project through every stage of development, including live ops. I'm also directly heading-up the production of the design and audio teams. I led the charge on setting up all necessary processes for task management, handling project goals & scope, and our team's culture. I'm constantly working with team leads and external stakeholders to manage our tight time constraints and any unexpected changes.

Overall, it's been going excellent and I'm really enjoying working with such a large team of excited and energetic peers. Our game is looking great, is out now, and with a large polish and content update releasing by the end of April!
