In game production, challenges are inevitable. Ambitious features, new mechanics, or evolving storylines can push projects beyond their original plans, leading to missed deadlines, budget overruns, and team burnout.
But who takes ownership when milestones slip, quality drops, budgets start to drift, or gates get delayed? This session dives into leadership accountability in practice, exploring how these situations are escalated, managed, and resolved.
Panellists will share proven approaches for:
- Escalation Protocols: How issues are raised and routed to ensure visibility without finger-pointing.
- Decision Ownership: Clarifying who is responsible when key milestones or deliverables are at risk.
- Preventive Measures: How establishing clear accountability upfront can reduce chaos when the unexpected occurs.
