Regarding: Edvin Broberg’s blog post
Very interesting question indeed. I also believe that you are onto something in regards to team morale being affected by the producer being there and not working, though less than the producer not being present at all. If you are on site but not occupied you get a valuable overview of the current situation, even though some team members might become irritated by your seeming lack of work load. This should also generate a possibility for the team members to ask you any questions that might arise. As you might be light on work load, minor issues could become easier to bring up by you peers as well. To not be present at all could further alienate you from the group whilst providing no added benefit regarding group knowledge or “approchability”. My guess is that anyone that becomes irritated or takes offence to someone having a lighter work load would become more agitated by a member not showing up at all. Keep in mind that I have no further knwoledge than what you describe in the post so my comment on this is purely hypothetical. Another thing you could look into is if there are other tasks you can carry out where you don’t disrupt the work flow of you team. Playtesting, providing feedback etc. are all good ways of helping the team that anyone can do. Please keep us updated on any future findings regarding the question. /Anton Berglund  |
