In this GDC 2018 talk, Bungie's Linda Fane shares how the studio tackled the monumental challenge of building Destiny 2 at scale, and how dedicated "planning days" saved the game's development.

Fane discusses the origin of "planning days" and shares stories of the technique's real-life successes and failures.

In addition to explaining how teams are structured at Bungie, Fane also goes into the challenges of wrangling development teams at such a large scale. 

It was an insightful talk that's definitely still worth watching, so developers shouldn't miss the opportunity to do so now that it's freely available on the official GDC YouTube channel!
