Takeaway:
This project taught me a great deal about the Unreal Engine. I learned about how to properly scope a project within a very real and tight window of time. I also grew as a producer because I worked with a larger group of people with many different personality types, so I had to adapt and learn new management styles.
This was also the first major project where i utilized Agile development methodoligies. We rigorously stuck to a two-week sprint plan and held regular stand-up meetings. This process did indeed prove to be beneficial, and I learned some fantastic tools that have helped me with project management in future projects.
