How do you plan the sprints – and what even are sprints? What is SCRUM and agile development? How do you manage creative people and enable them to do their magic? How do make sure deadlines are kept? And what does being a leader actually mean? Also, make sure you pay attention to the pastry Lisa brought - it might be one of the most beautiful ones ever featured on the Fika Sessions.

In Episode 11 of the Fika Sessions, we meet UX Designer Izzy Martin to learn more about user experiences at Ubisoft Connect. How do you make sure that the users get the best experience possible? How is the design work done? What does the process look like, and how do you make sure - and test - that the user flows make sense? How do work with accessibility? Izzy answers all these questions and more as we dive into her job in detail. We’ll also find out how you can go from being a “digital librarian” in the US to working at Massive Entertainment in Sweden. And make sure not to miss out on the fika Izzy brought. There’s a story there, and also a lot of sugar. Tools & Tips: Game UX Summit 19 YouTube Playlist - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GblZTyg3XNM&list=PLt0pXp-xSmxa_UIPITlN3d132twVmhJHw…

In this new episode of our Fika Sessions, we meet Daniel Gonzalez, Build & Infrastructure Engineer at Massive Entertainment, to discuss details about what it takes to get the actual game to your machines. So you have all the graphics, audio, animations and gameplay programming. How do you get all of that into one package you can play on your console or PC? Enter the Build Engineers. Daniel and his team take all of that, put it on their machines and start creating their game builds. Join us as we find out more about how that process works, but also about concepts such as devops (development operations), automation and alerts when working on major computer engineering projects. Also, for the fika itself, what ARE those things?! Tools & Links: Google Site Reliability Engineering Handbook - https://sre.google/sre-book/table-of-contents/…
