Extreme programming (XP) is a software development methodology which is intended to improve software quality and responsiveness to changing customer requirements. As a type of agile software development,[1][2][3] it advocates frequent "releases" in short development cycles, which is intended to improve productivity and introduce checkpoints at which new customer requirements can be adopted.

Critics have noted several potential drawbacks,[5] including problems with unstable requirements, no documented compromises of user conflicts, and a lack of an overall design specification or document. History[edit] Although extreme programming itself is relatively new, many of its practices have been around for some time; the methodology, after all, takes "best practices" to extreme levels. Origins[edit] The first time I was asked to lead a team, I asked them to do a little bit of the things I thought were sensible, like testing and reviews.

Videos. Opinion: Students, Version Control! [Insomniac Games designer Lisa Brown presents an informative primer on version control software for students, offering a crash course, tips, and useful resources, in this #altdevblogaday-reprinted opinion piece.] Here's one for all the students out there. Since I'm still relatively fresh out of grad school (though I don't know when one starts ripening, honestly), I often have students approach me with questions about what they need to do/learn/etc. that will help them get into game development.

I try as much as I can to remember the state of not-knowing I had before, which is difficult to do as what once were new insights turn into normal routine. The other day I was futzing around on the internet, trying to find if there was a way to integrate Devtrack and Perforce, when a thought hit me so hard that I nearly fell out of my chair! Version control software! I feel like that's probably the case with most game developers who use version control every day. What's Version Control? Resources. Git - Fast Version Control System. Mantis Bug Tracker | Download. Features - Game Design Methods: A 2003 Survey. At the Game Developers Conference this week in San Jose, two roundtable discussions [20] will be dedicated to the topic of "game design methods" - that is, methods for planning and defining gameplay.

To set the stage, this article presents a cursory overview of past and present efforts to define structured, formal game design methods. Some of the proposals referenced here were originally started several years ago, others were conceived as recently as a few months ago. This survey does not claim to be complete, and introductions to efforts not presented here will be welcomed to the GDC roundtables. The Aim Of Game Design Methods Compared with the vast body of operational knowledge found in the world of filmmaking, the game design community is just beginning to articulate the concepts and techniques specific to our medium in order to establish methods of game design.

Relate to game design. This article focuses on design - how to plan and define gameplay, and how to make it work. Do Ocracy. A do-ocracy (also sometimes do-opoly, which is a more obvious pun on “duopoly”) is an organizational structure in which individuals choose roles and tasks for themselves and execute them. Responsibilities attach to people who do the work, rather than elected or selected officials. The term is popular with libertarian management afficionados and BurningMan? Participants.

It also has a Zen nature that can be hard for some people to fathom. A do-ocratic example: 30 people are going to Burning Man and camping together. A new campmate may grumble, “Jeez, why does Mary get to decide what everyone eats and when they work? A second example: in a medium-sized corporation, the IT group has become ossified and unresponsive to their users’ needs. Meanwhile, a pair of graphic designers in the marketing department teach themselves PHP over a weekend to get a customer survey website up for Monday morning (a job that IT spec’d out for 14 months of work).

A cross-functional team is a group of people with different functional expertise working toward a common goal.[1] It may include people from finance, marketing, operations, and human resources departments. Typically, it includes employees from all levels of an organization. Members may also come from outside an organization (in particular, from suppliers, key customers, or consultants). Cross-functional teams often function as self-directed teams assigned to a specific task which calls for the input and expertise of numerous departments.

Assigning a task to a team composed of multi-disciplinary individuals increases the level of creativity and out of the box thinking. Each member offers an alternative perspective to the problem and potential solution to the task. In business today, innovation is a leading competitive advantage and cross-functional teams promote innovation through a creative collaboration process.
