Producer Bootcamp: The Bane of All Development Postmortems: Communication is Hard So Give Up Now
Difficulties in communication go hand in hand with creating complex software on a deadline, measuring subjective goals, leading people, and managing expectations. These were all regular themes in Game Developer Postmortems.
