NFL Head Coach

NFL Head Coach was a brand new franchise that takes advantage of the exclusive NFL license, but the user is now in control of the coach instead of the player. Head Coach was released June 19, 2006, by Electronic Arts on their EA SPORTS label. I moved to NFL Head Coach in the last milestone of development because they were struggling to get features into a completed state. I was given six engineers and a designer to manage and was responsible for the Gameplay and Online areas of the game. I was responsible for making sure each feature for those areas were completed in full. I managed the development schedule, managed bug flow, and tracked dependencies with art and central data.
