So you (or someone else decided) you're a producer
summary
Six producers compare concrete tactics: use JIRA, Kanban and six‑week sprints, run demo days and weekly “awesomeness” reviews, keep a production Slack and post‑mortems, and hire deliberately (one team is 25 people and plans four hires). They describe being the client buffer, handling HR, and shipping a first title (Dr Robots Invaders) and custom hardware/platform work, and recommend EAP or a communications mentor for emotional labor while aiming for invisible facilitation that fixes process, scope and morale so the game actually ships.
