Making good relationships with clients is just as important as making the game good and staying on schedule. We were able to bond very close to the client and even have client assistance with MOCAP and outsourcing voice acting. The project became very enjoyable to maintain and meet with clients.
Over scoping can happen and taking quick action is important. Delegating time to scope high priority tasks is important than rushing new tasks/systems.
Managing preproduction projects allows for flexibility but that should not allow projects to not meet milestone goals.
Motivation and team moral should always be paid attention to. As a producer you must make sure no one is overworking. It isn't bad to approach someone and tell them to stop abusing their work life balance just to fix a bug or get a feature in on time.
