This simple game is intended for any member of your organisation/teams to understand the challenges related to "distributed scrum". This also relates to the roles/skills and how natural instincts affect teams so there is no wrong way to play it. **I tried it with 4th graders to test it before I brought this to the grownups. Went really well in both cases... -
