What does a Game Project Manager do?

A Game Project Manager keeps the project aligned with scope, budget, and deadlines. While producers focus on sprint execution, a Project Manager takes the bird’s-eye view: prioritizing features, balancing resources, and making sure leadership and teams share the same vision.

How is a Project Manager different from a Producer?

Producers are closer to the team, making sure stories and tasks get completed. Project Managers work at the strategic level, defining priorities, creating realistic timelines, sizing the workforce, and ensuring budgets align with goals. Both roles are important, but they serve different purposes.

Why hire a Game Project Manager consultant?

Many studios face issues like inconsistent leadership vision, unrealistic deadlines, or unclear budgets. A consultant brings outside clarity and experience to identify risks early, align stakeholders, and prevent costly mistakes before they derail the project.

Do you work with indie teams, AA, or AAA studios?

All of the above. Indie teams often need help with scope and workforce sizing, mid-sized teams need alignment across disciplines, and AAA studios benefit from structured planning for large dependencies and long-term roadmaps.

Can you help with publishers, VCs, or investors?

Yes. While I don’t raise funds directly, having a Project Manager with a technical background reduces hesitation from publishers and investors. It shows the studio has someone who understands the risks, scope, and technology, which builds confidence in your plan.

Do you offer ongoing support or one-time consulting?

Both. Most studios start with a Project Health Check (a discovery review of your current scope, timelines, workforce, and risks). From there, you can decide whether you need ongoing fractional/full-time support or just the insights to move forward.

What tools and methodologies do you use?

I adapt to the studio’s needs, often using Agile practices (Scrum, Kanban, backlog prioritization) blended with game-specific milestones like prototypes, vertical slices, and content locks. The goal is always to deliver clarity and realistic progress.

How long does a Project Health Check take?

A typical health check can be completed in a few days to a week, depending on team size and complexity. You’ll receive clear findings, risk assessments, and recommendations you can act on immediately.

What It’s Like To Work With Us?

People I’ve worked with on titles like Pokemon Go, Minecraft, Halo Infinite, and more:

Toño quickly stepped in with process suggestions that were adopted and sped up our ability to put out work faster than it was coming in. Even though he was an engineer at the time, he understood which parts of Scrum we actually needed on a small prototyping team and which we could ignore. His grasp of what we were making, how it needed to be made, and how to organize the team helped us come from behind and hit our deadlines. If he hadn’t taken over the production process on that project, I’m not sure we would have made it.

Sam Strick / Game Director @ Very Very Spaceship

We brought Toño in as an engineer on a prototype feature for a live mobile game, and he quickly became a partner in improving our Scrum and Agile processes. He consistently delivered when speed and accuracy were critical, and adapted easily as requirements changed. His process suggestions made our sprints smoother and our output more reliable.

Xavier Rodriguez / Former Senior Producer @ Very Very Spaceship

Toño brings strong production knowledge on top of considerable technical skill. He recently ran a seminar for our students on game project scheduling and prioritization that was clear, concrete, and immediately useful. I’d recommend him to any team that needs a sharper plan and better prioritization for their game projects.
