Strategic Planning That Actually Works

Most mobile games fail because teams skip the planning phase. We teach you how to avoid those expensive mistakes through structured methodology that real studios use.

Our approach focuses on practical skills rather than theoretical concepts. You'll work with actual game briefs, budget constraints, and timeline pressures that mirror industry conditions.

  • Market research and competitive analysis techniques
  • Resource allocation and team coordination
  • Risk assessment and contingency planning
  • Milestone tracking and quality gates

Vera Sinclair

Lead Planning Strategist

Vera has spent twelve years planning mobile games that you've probably played. She's been through three major studio launches, countless crunch periods, and enough failed projects to know what really matters in planning.

Her approach isn't about perfect processes — it's about practical systems that work when deadlines get tight and stakeholders change their minds. She's taught planning workshops across Australia and helped dozens of indie studios avoid common pitfalls.

Industry Experience

  • Senior Planner at three major Australian game studios
  • Planned 15+ mobile titles with combined 50M+ downloads
  • Guest lecturer at Queensland University of Technology
  • Consulting work with 30+ independent game teams
