Agile Aarhus: Developing indie games with agile processes with Ulf Porup Thomasen

Join Agile Aarhus for a dynamic morning with Ulf from Funday Games as he delves into the nuances of applying agile methodologies to game development. Unlike traditional software, games are creative entertainment products aimed at global audiences across various platforms. This creative context demands a unique and adaptive approach to processes.

Key points Ulf will discuss include:

• The nature of games as creative entertainment.
• Working with a worldwide player base on multiple distribution channels.
• Managing cross-functional teams of artists, programmers, designers, and producers.
• Aligning development processes with ever-evolving creative visions.
• Organising multiple small teams (3–9 FTEs each), each dedicated to its own title, and how this structure presents benefits and challenges.

Expect an engaging session offering fresh insights into how agile can be tailored to the fast-paced, ever-changing world of game development.
