[QUOTE="Phiwise_, post: 14964, member: 257"] It can vary a lot depending on organization and office politics, but when done right good producers are essential to coordinating the skills and time of a large and varied pool of experts so resources aren't wasted and the pieces of the project come together without friction and they can focus on applying their own skill well without distractions. Asking why workers need producers is like asking why a skilled surgeon needs nurses and anesthesiologists. It's to increase their reach and efficiency manyfold, especially if they're working on a whale instead of a human. Consider this bit from [I]The Mythical Man-Month[/I]: Oh man, I remember those days. I still recall that they uploaded on Wednesday, because I was so excited at the time when it was "EC video" day, and to discuss new videos and see other postings on th EC forums. It's good to see some stuff from the old team still holds up, as opposed to the people now wearing their brand like a skinsuit. [/QUOTE]
