During the limited development cycle:

Session Title

Weekly visible art resources:

Such as alternative sources, original paintings, models, barrier and mask versions

Art internal production, art outsourcing production platforms

Session Title


Weekly Iteration - Requirement management

Session Title


Weekly Iteration - Conditions for implementation

Experienced product producer

Mature product team

Specialized product PM and art PM

Supporting project management and collaboration platform

Session Title


Is weekly version agile enough?

Can it be faster ?

Can weekly version

fully meet the product demand?

Session Title


Supplementation of weekly iteration: daily version/two-day version

During the final stage, the expectations of the team for version iteration include: Can experience the change everyday Can see the results of iteration everyday (can’t ensure stable

quality)

Session Title


Weekly version iteration –Experience and Lessons

Efficiency: steady output VS explosive output

Iteration cycle is not the shorter, the betterHigher management expense

Higher intensity of work

Sometimes you need time to think

Weekly iteration practice also needs continuous iterationCautiously move forward like

walking on the thin ice.
