Come play the Agile Fluency Game! You’ll gain new insights into the benefits and trade-offs of adopting agile practices—and you’ll have a great time doing it.
The Agile Fluency Game authentically simulates 2½ years on a software development team. It was developed so experiments in the game lead to new insights about your real-world options. As you play the game, you’ll make decisions about which agile practices to adopt. Of course, you have to deliver features, too! Or what’s the point?
This is a great experience for agile team members interested in learning more about their options; managers and leaders wanting to better understand agile development; and people who enjoy modern board games such as Settlers of Catan and Ticket to Ride.
*“Saved us money on our agile transition effort by getting a preview in 90 minutes!”* —Director, Agile Center of Excellence
*“Makes the need for best practices come to life.”* —Manager
*“Played first game and beautifully painted ourselves into a corner through the same mistakes real teams make. How’d that happen? Powerful teaching.”* —Senior Learning & Development Manager
*“[Our leadership team] experienced 20 years of agile learning in 4 hours!”* —Director, R & D
*“The shift from playing the game gave new focus to our discussion of leadership challenges.”* —VP, Product Management
Doors open at 6pm for pizza and conversation. We’ll start playing at 6:30. Be sure to arrive before then: the building is secured at 6:30 and no further entry is allowed.

CORONAVIRUS NOTE: We've been asked if we still plan to hold this event given the concerns about Coronavirus. We DO plan to hold the event, with the following precautions:
* Attendance is limited to 16 people. (First come, first served.)
* We will not be serving food or drink or allowing food in the game room. If you bring food, we have a separate dining area where you can eat.
* Hand sanitizer and tissues will be available. Restrooms for washing hands are right across the hall.
* Do not attend if you're sick or have flu symptoms. |
