Recently I lacked some inspiration for a good technique suitable for the upcoming retrospective. As the team was growing in their agile way of working, I decided to leave it to the team to come up with a nice activity. I was very surprised with the outcome. A brand new activity which we called the Fast and the Furious (and other Fs).
This activity’s goal is to gather information about the sprint.
Core Scrum Game
An interactive and collaborative card sorting activity to learn the differences between “Core Scrum” or “Supportive Practices”, and what is “Not Scrum”. Useful for a pre-assessment, review, and learning about Scrum. It is also useful in debunking common misperceptions around Scrum.
The Core Beliefs of Waterfall, Agile and Lean
This learning activity does not only improve the basic knowledge of Waterfall, Agile and Lean but also help participants to identify the differences between each belief system.
Sinking Islands
Prioritize a list of backlog items (ideas/features/projects/tasks) and manage WIP by saving and sinking islands in this fun and active game.
