Managing the largest team to-date

In the peer-nominated position of Lead Producer, I was faced with the management of 37 team members in creating a well-scoped game project through every stage of development, including live operations. I directly headed the production of both the design and audio teams. I led the charge on setting up all necessary processes for task management, handled all project goals & scope, and was a heavy positive influence our team's culture. I constantly worked with team leads and external stakeholders to manage our tight time constraints and any unexpected changes.

Overall, it was an excellent experience and I really enjoyed working with such a large team of excited and energetic peers. Our game looks and plays great, is out on popular platforms, and upon the release of our big '1.0' update which included a whole host of new content and polish, we capped off Clockwork Sword's development!
