Managing Your Project - leemet16/game-design-toolkit GitHub Wiki

Creating a game is fun but there are many challenges - team collaboration being one of the biggest ones! For instance, can everyone on the team answer the following questions (and would they all have the same answers)?

• What work needs to be done and for when?
• What is being worked on?
• What is finished?

Kanban

One tool that can help you coordinate and manage work is a Kanban board. A Kanban board, at its simplest, is a board with cards. The cards represent the work to be completed. You move cards from left to right on the board - moving from To Do, Doing, and then Done. You can use software tools like Trello or Github to create and manage your Kanban board, or you can use some painters tape and sticky notes to make a board on a wall.

Fork the Toolkit!

Fork this Game Design Toolkit and make it your own! Once forked you will be able to easily do the following:

• Keep track of requests and issues
• Add, drop, or edit pages in this wiki
• Store code, images, sounds, etc.

This is a key activity for your project. You will need to be able to collaborate, manage your work, store your work items, and share with your teacher.

Create Your Kanban Board!

Create and use a Kanban board to manage your project. The best way to start is by forking this project. The nice thing about using Github is that all of your project work will be kept in one place. As an alternative you could also use Trello for your board, but then your Kanban board would be separate from the rest of your work.
