Agile and Scrum 

As a producer, I recognize the value of applying Agile methodologies to break down large complex projects into smaller more manageable tasks.

To achieve this, I follow a structured approach:

  1. Define Epics
    These could represent a major system in the game, or a high level vision for a class we want to have. For example, in my Epic spreadsheet, one of my Epics was multiple classes to play with different abilities for each.

  2. Break Down into User Stories
    Each Epic is broken down into user stories which outline the wants and reasons behind needing a certain system or idea for any given Epic.

  3. Create Task Lists
    From each user story, I derive a detailed list of actionable tasks. These are generally things such as modeling, scripting, animation, music, etc. The key is actionable tasks that can be completed rather than a vague or big picture idea.

  4. Track Progress on a Scrum Board
    All tasks are then added to a Scrum board. This allows the team to visualize progress, identify blockers, and maintain a clear work flow.

This process allows me to breakdown a big idea into smaller tasks for a team or individual to work on.

As an example, here are the Epics I created for a past project
