Production Survey -- Please Participate!

I'm asking studio production folks throughout the industry to take part in a brief, anonymous survey about production practices at your company. I'll post an initial analysis of the results on Gamasutra so everyone has access to my findings.  Just click the big green button at www.fullergameproduction.com to participate.

I've also included an incentive (see below) to spark as much participation as possible. I'm inviting you to not only participate but also to pass along the invitation to anyone else you can think of in the industry. If they're in production at any level at a company of 4 or 400, I want their voice to be heard.

Incentive!

Just for completing the survey, you have the option to enter your studio for a chance to win a free visit and production analysis from Fuller Game Production. The details would be worked out to meet the winner's needs, but I'm prepared to offer at no charge:

• ·         A 2-day visit with your studio during which I'd meet with developers, production staff, and studio management to understand your processes and learn about your company's needs and challenges.
• ·         A written analysis of the strengths and weaknesses of the studio's production practices along with recommendations for improvement -- concrete steps based on experience, not just theory. This analysis would address all levels of the organization: frontline contributors, production, and leadership.
• ·         A discount on any future training, consulting service, or solution implementation from Fuller Game Production.

There are some stipulations, e.g. limit on travel expenses -- I can't eat the total cost of visiting you if your studio is on the moon. I will pay for my own accommodations once I get there, though.

The winning company will be receiving the benefits of 13 years of AAA dev experience and the knowledge of a credentialed PMP for free. I normally charge infinitely more than zero, so that's quite a deal.

Feel free to pass this along to friends and colleagues throughout the industry. The survey will close at midnight CST on March 13. If you have any questions please send them to survey@fullergameproduction.com.

Thank you!
