Production Director EA

Conference Day 1

9:30 AM OPENING PANEL DISCUSSION: Time, Scope, Quality: Is This Triangle Broken?

Our opening panel discussion tackles the question every production leader has faced: Can we still deliver a quality product, on time, and on budget?

For decades, producers relied on the iron triangle (time, scope, and quality) as the gold standard for project decision-making. The rule was simple: pick two, accept the consequences of the third. The model was clean, predictable, and it worked.

Today, however, legacy production models are struggling at scale. Production leaders are no longer just balancing three points; they are managing a widening gap between scope and capacity. Teams are navigating evolving toolchains mid-cycle, distributed workforces, and complex platform compliance that didn’t exist five years ago. Often, when scope is fixed but capacity is fluid, leaders find themselves compromising all three corners of the triangle.

This panel explores reframing the iron triangle as a priority triangle, shifting the focus from managing tasks to balancing scope versus capacity. Our panellists will discuss how this priority-driven approach helps head of production to:

Audit Real-Time Capacity: Discuss how to measure the actual velocity of distributed teams and outsourcing partners versus the "ideal" roadmap.
Structure Resilient Roadmaps: Explore moving away from rigid feature sets toward flexible milestones that account for technical risk.
Phase Investment: Deciding how to fund teams based on capacity thresholds rather than arbitrary deadlines.
Build Sustainable Studios: Creating teams that can ship repeatedly without burning out their capacity on a single "one-game wonder."
