It’s for art / drawing with a stylus, so your other fingers don’t bump the screen and mess things up. To my understanding they aren’t often bundled, but many artists get them for tablets.

Do you want to add more content for your game down the road? (DLC, seasonal content, sequels, etc). Adding voice acting means you need to hope those actors will be available again, or have an alternate plan (sound-alikes, re-recording, etc). Are you localizing? Then you’ve got that for every region!

I feel like you could lift a bunch of mechanics from the latest Indiana Jones game, and give endless items to hit them with.

At some places the role names are swapped between producer and product manager so it is definitely good to check about the roles of both at a given company.

Another way of thinking about Jira update reminders: Just like you might be blocked waiting on an asset or code, a producer can be blocked on their work if they don’t have task estimates or completion velocity data.

You will absolutely feel the difference if you lose a producer for an extended period of time, or they are stretched too thin.

Fundamentally, at most places, producers are the ones making sure a project can close predictably, and that teams aren’t blocked by dependencies during development. For individual devs, this can be almost invisible, except that much of this work is data driven, which depends on good jira hygiene.
