Project: Fall Cry 6 Stranger Things Extension

For a podcast about project management, we don’t actually have a lot of project managers on the program. That’s why it is a pleasure to have Jenn on, who is not only a PMP (project management professional), but works in a newer sector that had to determine its own optimal project management approach. Part story-telling, part software development, part movie-making, the gaming production process is fascinating not only from a project management perspective, but for anyone wondering how this multi-billion dollar industry manages itself.

Whether he’s on stage with legends like Gloria Estefan and Cher, performing across Europe in various Broadway Musicals, or on RuPaul’s Drag Race Holland as Love Masisi, Pierre Alexandre, known as Pierry as a child, has always looked for the play in his performance career.

Project: A Software Project with a Hard Deadline

It was very cool to speak with one of the co-authors of the Manifesto for Agile Software Development, Jon Kern. As I argue in this episode, he is a true rock star of project management and he proves it as he explains how agile project management is a true art of balancing the constraints of scope, time and budget by understanding the client’s vision - sometimes better than them. He is based in the U.S. and we spoke through Google Meet, so the sound is not studio quality, but I hope that’s overshadowed by the content.
