September 7, 2021 6.00 pm – 8.00 pm
On September 7, 2021, we talked with three industry professionals about job and career opportunities in Project Management and Producing. Our experts gave insight into what their professions consist of, which tools and techniques they use, where they set foot inside the games industry, and what is expected from career starters in general.
Our three industry experts reported on their careers, and answered the participant’s questions about their jobs and how they found their way into the games industry. They gave insights into what skill set applicants should focus on, which parts of the job you can only learn by doing and how important it is to know about the jobs your team members and departments are doing - if only to know when someone is intentionally overestimating the time a task will take so they don't have to do it.
The experts for Game Starter Project Management:
Anke Günther - Co-Founder and Producer at Beardshaker Games
Thiemo Schubert - Team Lead at Sunday
Juney Dijkstra - Legacy Portfolio Manager at Paradox Interactive
