The worst thing to ever happen at a video game company I worked at was when they separated the art department from the programming department. Artist needed to communicate with programmers and visa versa to make the best product. Instead they got siloed by department and the communication went south. Programmers didn't easily learn pain points and needs of artists and artists didn't learn how to use the latest features because communication became harder
- jfengel 1y agoOften, employees need to communicate to two sets of people. The HR people, for example, need to talk to the rank and file employees, and also each other. In house developers talk to IT and to their users. There is an eternal cycle of bringing a function together, then decentralizing it, and repeating. No matter what you do, someone is going to find it convenient and someone else will find it inconvenient.
