Agile Play #3: We Take Games Seriously!

And this is how it was at Agile Play #3:

Ice Breaker: Yes, but… versus Yes, and…

Yes, and… is more than an Ice Breaker exercise. During the debrief we discussed where it would be useful:

  • Getting the team ready for a brainstorming.
  • Preparing for a negociation (training win-win attitude).
  • Accepting diverse opinions in the group.

Games we played

  • Skulls & Roses (for strategic thinking & seizing opportunities),
  • Robots Ricoche (for quick reaction in front of new situations),
  • SET (for pattern matching, observing anti-patterns, system architecture),
  • Wooden puzzle (for team building, complicated problem decomposition, self organizing) and
  • Baba is You (for training pair programming or mob programming skills).

Debrief time!
