Synopsis

Mentoring is often a crucial, yet informal part of an organization's best practices and skill development, whether targeted towards a team lead, project manager, designer, developer or a valued senior team member. This book provides practical strategies and methodologies for professionals to mentor others to successfully develop and deliver digital media projects across different types of settings.

Many professionals working with teams in the digital media industry (games, web development, XR, IoT, mobile) are drawn to teaching others, but may not know how or where to start. Many might be a subject expert but may not have the structure and skills in place to be able to teach others effectively in workplace and institutional settings. This handbook will give professionals a guide on how to mentor junior designers, developers and other learners in formal and informal learning environments.
Mentoring Digital Media Projects offers the right tools and strategies to use in digital media and emerging tech projects for you to better guide junior team members
