Agile for Video Game Development

When there is a team with more than 7 people, communication between members become difficult, management is fundamental and difficulties increase, reducing the possibility of doing a good job, especially if the team has new members.

In a similar situation, applying the Agile methodology is essential for the development and the growth of the team and for the optimization of work management in a company that has independent projects and often offers consulting services and softwares to other companies that want to invest in video games, just for the survival of the team.

When a team work on a commission, or on an independent project, development time optimization, together with the compliance with the specifications and internal communication are fundamental, but often underestimated by young game developers, causing misunderstanding, a delay in the release of the game, extra costs and team fatigue.

In this talk, the interesting success story of Tiny Bull Studio will be showed, and also how Agile methodologies can be applied to game development, with a detailed analysis of how mistakes and wrong investments can make a huge difference for the success or the failure of a company.
