How A Game Dev PMO Works
A Game Dev PMO extends beyond a traditional Project Management Office, guiding how operational areas interface together to plan and deliver results
In this 1-hour webinar, we will cover how each of 9 core areas produce consistently reliable results in a well-organized game development business:
- (1) Initiative Management / Green Light Process ensures strategically important work drives your organization's roadmap for delivery
- (2) Responsive Change Control mechanisms enable flexibility to handle dynamic circumstances while preserving reliable, timely delivery
- (3) Execution Framework provides a vehicle for project oversight, ensuring effective planning, management, and review
- (4) Game Development functions support the best methodologies for the team, that deliver performant, quality assets and code
- (5) Operations and Support elements ensure appropriate handling of maintenance, administration, and customer support
- (6) Organizational Structure models facilitate appropriate and effective arrangement of teams, roles, and responsibilities
- (7) Resource Management mechanisms ensure efficient and responsible handling of headcount, budget, and equipment
- (8) Team Performance and Growth functions allow for, support, and deliver healthy, high-achieving teams and leaders
- (9) Operating Model delivers a consistent heartbeat of energy and attention throughout the organization on a healthy cadence
While some of these functions live in spaces where other departments have an interest (Human Resources or Finance, for instance), there are important interface points to the operation of the business that shouldn’t be ignored. For this reason, they are useful to consider in our Game Dev PMO.
In the webinar, I’ll walk through each of these to paint a high-level picture of how these areas fit together.
