Agile and Beyond 2016

The Dice Game is a simple but powerful experiential learning exercise for new teams that demonstrates flow, value and teamwork. Its major objective is to demonstrate the impact of batch size from waterfall to lean flow in scrum or kanban. For new scrum teams we will briefly introduce the basic game. Then I will introduce add-ons to the game that I have discovered to demonstrate the value of focusing on flow and the impact of quality on predicting team performance. Teams prefer this version over the penny game because of additional directed learning and the energy the game generates. This will be a high energy session that will provide insights for the novice and a new tool for experienced coaches while providing powerful insights for the practicing agile manager.
