How do you save weeks of thrash when your team is busy and perhaps even crunching, but your key goals aren't moving?

This solo episode with Ben reveals the hidden cost of avoiding difficult conversations and the simple, 20-minute fix that can unblock your entire game development team. The problem isn't your process, your backlog, or lack of effort—it's failure to pause and actually talk to each other.

You'll learn:

5 signs you need to stop trying to outwork the problems

Why pushing every problem to standup or retro isn't working

How the right conversation can be worth more than weeks of work

Don't let denial or the fear of one more meeting cost you months of development time. It's time to stop wasting effort and have the one real conversation you need.
