Having proper project management enables stakeholders to effectively plan, allocate resources, and meet deadlines, resulting in ensuring smooth and timely delivery of the game.

A well-managed project allows the development team to focus on refining gameplay mechanics, storytelling, and overall player experience, leading to the delivery of engaging and fun games.

Milestones serve as a guiding point on what the game state should be at a given time and helps to assess project progression to identify potential issues on the development process, allowing for timely adjustments and course corrections. A clear understanding of the milestone goals helps provide the development team with specific achievements, and deliverables, for a timely game project delivery.
