ABSTRACT
Like many other production industries, the game industry is relentlessly interdisciplinary. It relies on solid teams of experts, each with a key role to play. It is rare to have all the work be done by only one individual. This chapter discusses how the use of teamwork and team-based studies within the college course system is used as the starting point to begin building this feeling of team spirit and team effort in the student, something that will be an essential element of career success. The chapter includes a discussion of the types of people who might be a part of a team and how they can influence the success or failure of that team. There is also an introductory discussion on the more common production methods.
