Meegle has been a game-changer for our projects. I love how its features make it easy to visualize everything in one place. It’s incredibly helpful to have a clear view of the project’s progress and the goals we’re working toward, allowing everyone on the team to stay aligned and focused.
-- Khiêm Trần, Project Manager of Skylink Studio
You know how it is, every new game starts with that big bright idea that's fun to toy with, but the road to actual execution is a different story.
For Skylink Studio, a leading game development company in Vietnam, the issue wasn't about coming up with ideas. They had plenty of those. The company is behind some solid gaming titles like Toy Triple and Find Triple Toy that people actually enjoy.
They were, however, more concerned about making sure every idea made it through the entire process, from brainstorming to final launch. And the real hurdle they faced was building a system to handle the ensuing chaos. This chaos wasn't just technical. It was about how they coordinated people, optimized processes, tracked progress, and adjusted for misalignments. With a 50-person team working across different projects, staying organized was half the battle.

The Challenges
Challenge #1: From ideas to action
Skylink Studio had creativity in spades. Ideas about characters, mechanics, storylines—just ideas, nothing concrete. And if you’ve ever tried to make sense of a thousand different creative visions, you know how impossible it is to steer that ship.
Their product managers were stuck asking:
'What’s the next step? How do we translate these creative visions into a cohesive game design?'
Challenge #2: Juggling one too many
Skylink wasn’t short on talent. But with everyone darting across different roles, tasks were slipping through the cracks and tracking progress was a pain.
They needed structure. Clear, defined steps, with a view of everything happening in one place. And most importantly, they needed to know who was doing what and where they were getting stuck.
Challenge #3 Seeing what really matters
The Skylink leadership team wasn’t looking for another set of fancy charts or convoluted progress reports.
They wanted a high-level overview of all ongoing projects to spot inefficiencies and opportunities for improvement:
'Can we see everything at once - progress, bottlenecks, and opportunities for improvement?'
Yet, the lack of centralized oversight made it nearly impossible to pinpoint inefficiencies or prioritize next steps.
The Turning Point: Meegle to the Rescue
Enter Meegle, the project management tool that transformed how Skylink Studio tackled game development. By introducing clarity, organization, and actionable insights, Meegle helped Skylink overcome their challenges and unlock their full potential.
Mastering complexity with a centralized roadmap
Meegle’s tree-view and panorama view gave Skylink a clear, organized structure for their flagship project, MagicSwap App.
The roadmap it created helped break down the entire project into digestible and actionable levels:
- Top Level: The project itself (Holiday Gifts: Christmas Special).
- Sub-levels: Versions (e.g., Android V6), sprints (e.g., Kanban), and epics (e.g., Christmas Challenge).
- Actionable Tasks: Features like Update Christmas Assets are broken down into smaller tasks such as Upload Photos, Style Selection, and Error Handling, with clear differentiation between frontend and backend responsibilities.
This centralized structure kept the team on track and focused on creating exceptional games while ensuring alignment at every step.
