Responsibilities and Key Takeaways

Production

A primary responsibility I had on LEGO 2K Drive was milestone planning, sprint management, and task tracking within Jira. I coordinated with multiple separate teams to plan out appropriate timelines for sprints on a monthly basis. I would assist in facilitating communication between multiple teams, ensuring that goals and priorities were aligned and understood between leads - culminating in successful deliveries of milestones.

Milestone Planning

Another key responsibility in my position was leading milestone planning efforts. Both in planning and execution, future milestones had to be pitched, scoped, and scheduled out effectively to enable efficient development - especially on a live service product.

Feature Scheduling

One key strength of my production method was the ability to translate complex schedules to the bulk of the development team. I accomplished this through the use of Gantt charts within Jira's Advanced roadmaps tool. Through accurate estimates, thorough backlog organization, and diligent dependency management, I was able to accomplish this in every major post-launch update for LEGO 2K Drive.
