Eight of the members of Databox Games are stage on Gotland in our home office, it has it’s benefits that you can just turn your head or walk over to the other office when something is unclear. It’s easy to see when people work and make progress or mistakes. The good part is also the bad party, because when you work on the same ting all the time you can easily blind yourself with your work, or take design question for granted if you over heard some people in the team working.

Those are the reasons why I’m very happy to have Jens that always question how things are or progress, so I don’t overseen some important stuff. As he said yesterday “I have to drag out information from you”, this is because I sometimes believe that everything is crystal clear, but if something is not it well easy / early be discovered by the people.

** Jens comment **
Well I have a tendency to take the role of “the devils advocate”, this so important things are not forgotten or things overlooked because no one take care of them. Also I’m quite a control person so I like to know where things are, and when things will be done. So it’s natural for me to “drag out” information from Håkan :p Håkan is also from the northern part of Sweden, so it’s in his genes to not tell me everything :p

Anyway I (and other people  on the team) got some good info from Håkan yesterday, so now everything is crystal clear … I think :p

As we say in Sweden -”communication is A and O” (means communication is everything).
