Main Day 1 - Tuesday 9th September

3:25 PM Presentation – Divide and Conquer: Scaling Teams into Agile Pods to Benefit Legacy Game Success

Elisa Olmedo - Associate Production Director, led a strategic shift in ways of working within the Core Gameplay area of Farm Heroes Saga by re-organising the team into smaller, agile 'pods'. This presentation will explore not only how this model helps the team manage limited resources and increases visibility across all roles, but also how building a great team culture is an essential first step in an organisational change by:

  • Enabling team members to gain a better understanding of cross-team strategies, goals, and approaches.
  • Maximising efficiency and resource management through a structured, cohort-based approach.
  • Drawing a connection between their shift to a pod-model and success of the team.
