Agile teaching games - The dysfunctional daily stand-up...... Game!
This is a brilliant little game I love playing with both new and experienced agile teams... Unfortunately I can't claim any credit as I never came up with it! Preferably it's best to play with a team who are already doing some level of agile practices and are already doing the daily stand-up. Ask for one volunteer in the group to play Scrum master and give the rest of them a card with one of the following 'secret' objectives on, It's important that team members don't discuss their hidden role before hand :- Arrive late. Hidden impediment: Mention an impediment/blocker but don’t be obvious about it Noisy chicken: start by saying, "I’m only an observer" and then report on things the group doesn’t care about. Silent chicken: as an observer, just say "pass" or "I’m just observing" when it’s your turn Ask a clarifying question on somebody else’s turn. Ramble on until you’re asked to move on. Try to side...
