Production Schedule
A production schedule brings together all of the information required to produce a new videogame. The purpose is to show all of the tasks and resources required, together with timescales in the order that they will be created. The document is used throughout the production of the game to ensure that all tasks are completed on time and that the overall project stays on track. The document will be shared with the various members of the production team so that they can keep track of what needs to happen and when. This provides a detailed overview of the project.
A production schedule should include the following:
