Thoughs on my leadership
|
Today’s Blogpost Since this will be one of my last posts for awhile I was considering doing this as a recap of what I have done good and what I need to improve for next time. First of all I think that my team has made a good game and that I feel proud to have been part of that team. The effort and dedication they have put in to make it possible is something I admire and feel will make them excellent game developers in the future.
However this journey has been rough at times and I think much of it boils down to my leadership. I have tried to have a hands off approach on how they have performed their tasks and to allow them to have as much freedom on how to finish them. Sadly I feel that in the process I might have become slightly detached from the developers and that in the future I will need to find a balance between creative freedom and restraints. Secondly was working with Scrum. I like the tool and think it could be a great way to organize a team in the future. Still I feel that my own experience is a bit too small to use it effectively and need more practice with it to manage a team. I feel that overtime I have made some errors that have stacked and slowed down the process. However this just allows for more improvements from myself and that for the next project I can make some adjustments. For example I had some issues organizing my daily standup and finding things to discuss. Secondly I feel that I didn’t ask my team enough questions and that in the future I need to do that more. My reason for this was that I assumed that if they had problems they would tell me, but that proved to not be the case all the time. Luckily my team has been kind enough to give me constructive feedback on improvements and what they thought I did good. So now I feel more confident that I can do this aslong as I keep the problems in mind and work on them. This is all for now.  |
