Game of the week – Santas Workshop (Game of circles)

In this virtual agile game, we bring agile to life through simulating sprints, retrospectives, planning & team collaboration

When to use this game?  

– Would you like to introduce agile ways of working to a new team? – Would you like to remind existing teams about some of the core principles of agility? – Would you just like to have a bit of festive fun with your team?  

Play this game with your teams or those within your company to show them in a very tangible way, how it feels to iterate, inspect & adapt, and work together.
