Production Management Portfolio Advice

Hi there,

I recently finished work on a PSVR project over the last four months as Producer of a small team, and was wondering which aspects of production would be of most interest to discuss in a portfolio.

For the most part I was curious if it would be more interesting to talk about the challenges that cropped up during development (For instance the difficulties of scheduling when having to work with such specific and occasionally volatile technology) , or to focus on the broad strokes of how the project was managed and what I learnt from it.

Any feedback on that would be appreciated,

Thanks

Just link the project.

It's site and overall quality is part of your portfolio.

If someone is interested in that aspect of your work, they will ask you questions on the spot about it. And if your unable to answer on the spot, then you don't know yourself or the project enough.

As a producer, you are intimately connected with the health of the project, if your not, your not doing it right.

Hyperlink it in your resume, and break down your responsibilities.

Make sure you say it was 4 months, and why it was developed.

There is a huge problem in the hiring for games, that has been going on for a while.

People put the title on the resume, and neglect to clarify it was for a game jam or the duration, it makes it so frustrating for recruiters to filter out who actually has professional and long term experience.

You will not get a call back from AAA unless your hobby experience crosses over into a few years, so don't spend too much time agonizing how to sell it. (unless you mean 4 months full time paid for play station Virtual Reality )

It sounds like you know what is relevant. I don't think you should talk about "what you learnt from it" - that sounds like something a teacher would ask you to write. Instead, word it as "which skills you used on it" - the fact that you learnt them as you went along is immaterial.
