Product Owner Challenge Gameproduct Owner Challenge Game



Games for Agile and Scrum

The Product Owner (PO) First, let’s make sure we understand the role of the Product Owner (PO). It originated in Scrum but is often also used beyond Scrum in other agile approaches and hybrid approaches. The Scrum definition of the role is the person responsible for maximizing the value of the product and the work of the development team.

  1. GAME.co.uk is the UK's leading games retailer with great deals on video games, consoles, accessories and the latest pre-order games.
  2. “Product Owner Challenge” – is a new agile game with Lego bricks. It supports organisations in transitioning from Waterfall to Agile and illustrates the agile mindset to a waterfall-driven product development culture: stop micro-management and communicate face-to-face clear objectives, requirements, and product vision.
  3. At #play14, Luxembourg, 14.-16.Mar.2014) Michael Tarnowski (Plays-In-Business.com) facilitated an open space session playing with 5 teams his new agile game “Product Owner Challenge (POChallenge)”. “POChallenge” is an agile game with Lego bricks.

ı am planning a training session for the management team of customer care group. So I would like to make them play 2 games to better understand Agile principles and Scrum framework. Can you recommend games for Agile and Scrum?

Hello Ebru,

I created a community website where people post games/simulations/exercises for accelerating the adoption of agile principles:
http://tastycupcakes.org

There are a lot of games on there, but some I use fairly consistently are:
Scrum Resort Brochure: http://tastycupcakes.org/2009/06/resort-brochure/‎
What Were They Thinking: http://tastycupcakes.org/2009/06/what-were-they-thinking/
99 Test Balloons: http://tastycupcakes.org/2009/06/99-test-balloons/
Presto Manifesto: http://tastycupcakes.org/2009/06/presto-manifesto/

Hope that helps!

Don

One of the things which worked for me during my training session was a compressed 3 day sprint with each day being 10 minutes.

We were divided into Scrum teams and given a problem and asked to deliver the product at the end of the sprint.

Pretty intensive way of crunching all important topics into a compressed time frame but it worked for me.

The choice of the game depends one the knowledge of your trainees and the time they can afford !
I use very 'Pocket Sized Principle' from tasty cupcakes, thank you very much Don !
It is also very short, and I like short games when the trainees are busy managers.
For a full Scrum training, I like http://www.lego4scrum.com , but you need at least 2h, and some lego bricks ;-)

A simulation workshop which uses the concept of crime story as a product of a Scrum team:

This is great also for management and non-it people. Everyone can write crime story.

I recommend also 1-minute movie:

An Agile simulation workshop which uses the concept of the movie as a product

Each team would create a 1-minute movie video using their mobile phones, they should create the scenes and actors using Legos and modeling compound.

I found this new Agile Game quite interesting.

It works local and remote (I used the previous version 2 years ago):
