A hands-on training program for game companies where producers focus on the product, not just task-tracking.

In your team, you may have several producers (or product managers). Some grew into the role from game design, QA, or analytics, while others came from outside the industry. And yet:

One ends up carrying everything alone, another struggles to defend priorities, a third is stuck in “task dispatcher” mode.
Feature vision is blurry. Goals aren’t aligned. Teams stall.
Deadlines pile up, perspectives narrow, and no one sees the bigger picture.
Everyone seems busy, but the product isn’t moving forward. Burnout sets in, and the same mistakes repeat.

Give your producers the tools to work in sync, make confident decisions, and truly drive the product forward.

Dmitry Yudo

Dmitry came into game development by chance - just looking for a summer job. But it quickly turned out not to be a temporary pursuit, but a lifelong passion. Fifteen years have passed since then: different projects, teams, countries, and countless hours of work driven by genuine enthusiasm.

Over the years, he has both built games from scratch and managed live products. He has worked in Russian- and English-speaking companies - Wargaming, Wildlife Studios, Kolibri Games, Playrix. Three times he relocated for exciting opportunities (and admits: that’s enough moving for a lifetime!).
The genres he has worked on are impressively diverse - from action and racing to match-3, idle/tycoon, RPG, and strategy. Among his landmark projects are World of Tanks Blitz, Homescapes, and Idle Bank Tycoon.
His strengths? Product and people management, monetization, analytics, and the ability to turn data into not just numbers but actionable insights.

Dmitry knows how to explain complex things simply, sharing his experience in a way that makes you want to put it into practice right away. And most importantly, he genuinely loves what he does. You can feel it from the very first minutes of speaking with him.
