No rest after the Clan HUD! - The UI team is hard at work on CW

You mean that CW will be built into the game and not be some crappy web interface like many other games that have a meta game component.

Now I am excite.

Yeep! A Kanban system in this type of work environment? I never considered that to be an effective information based workflow logistical method, but manufacturing based because it makes sense for physical items not intellectual property.

But I nitpick for amusement's sake.

Kanban is all the rage in agile development these days. We use them for development and they are pretty decent for the information they provide.

Those positions are probably not MWO positions, but for some other project. Unless some people there are retiring?

Oh don't I know it's all the rage. Just finished my program in Logistics and Kanban systems were part of it. I fully admit I've never worked in a place that used them though, so my disdain/amusement is purely academic.

What project? They haven't completed the development of MWO and you think they have another unannounced game in work? They just don't have staff, thats why development is so slow and it takes months to create one map or ui and weeks to add two buttons to that ui etc.

Yes I think they probably do, since they are a company and they've said numerous times that they've continually increased the numbers of developers and size of the company. If they don't keep producing new games, they'll sink. Even if they have a successful game.

´borg representing... =)

Also i would love to work for PGI but it seems i am missing the following

• Experience in managing production team through Agile Project Management method is an absolute asset
  
• PMP Certification is an asset

Also the commute from Sweden would be a real drag.. =P I will be in touch once i am done with my Master thesis and project.

Thank God its not Six Sigma™. You guys would never get anything done. But hey, it would be zero defect.

Thanks Niko!

OMG I was on a six-sigma project for my company. What a waste of time.... Either nobody does it right or the guy who invented it needs to be curb stomped.....
