My Work:
As the lead producer, led a team of over 30 across multiple disciplines while communicating clear and consistent vision.
Ran weekly stand up meeting to ensure progress is on track, and to help solve blockers. Kept meeting notes.
Maintained design documents and project macro to help communicate to the team which assets need to be created, and features built.
Created burn-down charts to make sure team meets each milestone and high priority tasks are given more attention.
Used Trello and google spreadsheets to keep track of tasks.
Learnt:
Leave cushion time when planning tasks.
Care about the quality of work team produces, also care about people's personal health. Try to reduce CRUNCH TIME!
Do not wait until the deadline to check in with people on tasks, mid-sprint check-ins and reminders are helpful.
