Cheers to the PU team! With the recent ongoing restructuring of the company what has been the most challenging aspect this has brought to your work as producers? How do you cope with the organizational change when you have a system in the work place.asked by Mr. Nowak

TL;DRThe hardest part of restructuring is keeping team morale up, which producers address by supporting and communicating with developers, though they are still adjusting to their own new roles.

The most challenging part of any kind of restructuring is just keeping team morale up. Nobody likes to see friends leave the company or moved to other parts of the project; They like to kind of keep the status quo so to speak so when that shifts the team morale sort of takes a hit. Part of the job of a producer is the momma bear factor that you like to call it. It's that support and encouragement that the producer can provide. When team morale is high, productivity is high and so it's really crucial to our job to make sure that happens.Communicating what the new structure is to the entire team, making sure there are no questions if and there are questions, make ourselves available for those developers who have questions about the new structure. Just being aware of the feel of the team and interacting with them whenever we need to update them on everything that's going on.

Jake and I were also adjusting to our roles here. There's a bit of a learning curve that we're in the middle of so really, ask us again once when we know what the new normal is.

The normal is always shifting [chuckles]
