How and when to use Scrum in Game Production

Part 3 of Agile for Game Producers.



This time we get into the details of how we develop a game and what that implies for use of Scrum and Kanban, with a lot more practical detail and illustrations. We go over how the job of exploration and discovery influences the choice of methodology and how, over time, that will change. There's advice on customising Scrum and setting us up for the next part on kanban. I hope you enjoy it!





Please let me know what you would like covered in more detail and I'll find some production friends to come help out with answering your questions.
