Agile Dev - Game with Purpose - WIA&T
Download as PPTX, PDF0 likes97 views
The document outlines a workshop agenda focused on gamifying agile development with interactive elements, such as icebreakers and breakout sessions for participants to explore game mechanics in software development. It encourages participants to think creatively about integrating game strategies into their development practices while comparing agile and waterfall methodologies. The session also promotes knowledge sharing and reflection on takeaways from the workshop.
![Exercise Time
• In breakout rooms, we will see what game mechanics you think
apply or can apply to some typical Agile development events and
practices; here’s a list of mechanics, but feel free to describe your
own (a bit longer than your handout)

• Trello board breakout rooms
– https://trello.com/b/sGU6FFt9/wiat-gamifying-agile-development
• Try and describe the items in terms of game mechanics/ game play.
The handout is a helper, Video Game Mechanics, Role-Playing
Mechanics, or even making up a mechanic if it is clear to you is OK.
(I’ll show a stand-up as an example momentarily.) [8 min or return to
room early if you finish early.]

![Exercise Time
• You will go back into your breakouts (this will take a little longer
since I’ll be placing you in the same groups)
• Use the Trello board breakout rooms of 5

• Try and take 1-2 key mechanics and see how you might give a
reward via scoring to the item. Be sure to think of possible
detrimental side effects. Record this into the description of the card.

Agile Dev - Game with Purpose - WIA&T
- 2. Agenda • Intro • Agile Dev = Boardgame Mechanics • Workshop • (If we aren’t running too late on time….) Yeah, Waterfall is a Game Too…
- 3. Get to know each other… • I’ll pair you up in breakouts • In 3 min, each share: – Your Secret Identity (Real Name) – Your Super Power – Your Super Hero Name of your own creation (optional) – Example: Ella Smith, as a grandmother I can entertain 7 grandkids at a time, I’m known as ‘The Juggler’
- 4. Nice Icebreaker… • I like to use this (or another fun icebreaker) at the beginning of any workshop where people don’t know each other – Good for new teams coming together – Training courses inside a company where people normally don’t know each other – Leadership retreats or similar events – Coach Camp networking events
- 5. 5 And mySuperpower? I can Gamifymost anything
- 6. Software Game is a Development Shhhhh…. Don’t tell anyone OK?
- 7. We could have FUN while we build something useful
- 10. Palette We come in a of Skills, Talents, & Interests Backgrounds, (Think about what you just learned about the diversity of everyone here.)
- 13. Development is like exploration… The game’s decisions are made on imperfect information
- 15. Product Release Developing a is like an RPG Adventure § Goal to accomplish (Biz Value to realize) § Party self-organizes § Gain tools & experience
- 16. Product Development is like an RPG Campaign § Priorities from distant netherworlds § Based on the needs of the Imperium (Business) § Experience carries from one release to the next § But each release is continued learning

- 20. SHU HA RI Thinking in terms of game mechanics: • Add mechanics for new circumstances • Remove mechanics that reduce effectiveness • Customize mechanics • Gamify around mechanics
- 21.

- 22. Debrief Time to
- 24. What Take Aways Do You Have? • Take 1 min and write down something you are taking away that you may try from this workshop? • This could be – – Specific mechanic to emphasize – Scoring attached to a mechanic – Changing out mechanics
- 27. It’s always sold as a happy project… …with a happy team …
- 28. Look! Here’s the happy (a.k.a. critical) path… …planned in one direction…
- 29. Delivering in B I G Batches…
- 30. What a great product… Just stick to the path!
- 31. And look, there are some wondrous shortcuts we can take early on…
- 32. What do you mean I can get stuck here? And here? And here also?
- 33. That’s not the way Waterfall was promised to work! You’re right! It’s more like…
- 35. It gets worse
- 37. That’s like… You Failed Your Tests “Looks like a design flaw” “Are you sure you got that requirement right?”
