Gear Up!

By  Grant Shonkwiler Today we read and discuss The Review Bazaar practice. This is an excellent practice for larger teams to show off what they are doing to each other. It's a fun way to show parts of the project in interactive ways as opposed to just showing each other videos. Check out the video below for the reading! Gear Up! Advanced Game Development Practices

By  Grant Shonkwiler Hello again friends, today we read and discuss the Silent Hour practice from Gear Up! This practice has served me well on all types of teams, from small to large, this practice allows for the team to really focus on work for a good hour a day. It's all about providing time for people to enter and stay in flow.  Gear Up! Advanced Game Development Practices

By  Grant Shonkwiler Here we are with another reading of one of the practices. This one is a personal favorite, The Silent Count. I've always struggled with being the person who always has the answer, or thinks they do at least, this can silence people on your team. This practice really helped me to get better at letting others speak and making sure everyone get's to have their voice heard.  Gear Up! Advanced Game Development Practices

By Grant Shonkwiler As soon as we launched the book people started asking for an audio book version, well we aren't ready for that yet, but I'll read one of the practices every few days. Hopefully this satisfies some of those people! I'm a big fan of this practice, it's great for people struggling with meeting fatigue! There are a ton of practices in the book, let me know which ones you want me to read and discuss next!  Gear Up! Advanced Game Development Practices
