Length: 10 minutes

Room: Room 2

Abstract

Are you tired of endless project plans that seem to go nowhere? Do you feel like your team is struggling to hit its goals, no matter how much you plan ahead? You know I am talking about wow raids, right? Let's take a lesson from a project management framework: breaking down raid goals into smaller, actionable tasks. As a gamer and developer, I have seen how effective it can be to think like a project manager when approaching complex group setup. Just like in a raid, you need to organize your team, set up a schedule, and assign roles and responsibilities. In this 10-minute talk, I will share practical tips and examples from my experience raiding in world of warcraft, and how i used scrum methodologies to accomplish this. Whether you're leading a team of developers or coordinating to storm raszageth, by breaking down larger goals into smaller, more manageable tasks, you can make progress towards your objectives and build a sense of momentum that can carry you to success.
