What makes a great external development manager and why is it so important?
Tune in to this podcast episode featuring Tara Phillips, Art Service Line Director at Keywords Studios, as she moderates the September XDS 2023 panel presentation. "Lost In Transition: How Outsource Manager Turnover Impacts Developers and Vendors Alike.”
Developers and vendors face many challenges when an Outsource Manager departs. In today’s climate, we are seeing even higher rates of mobility and attrition in these roles, which has become more prevalent due to industry layoffs and game cancellations. The discussion digs into the reasons behind this mobility, the risks and impacts that arise when this role turns over, and ideas on how to help mitigate these risks on both sides of the equation. The panel explores possibilities for mitigating project disruption, emphasizing the need for collaboration between developers and vendors in addressing this issue.
