Heroes of Agility – Weds 2/09, 7:00 PM – 8:30 PM EST

About this Event

In this session you will play a game that you can use to help teach Agile, Scrum, and Kanban. You will team up as a band of adventurers to seek your fortune and battle monsters for gold! The game is fast paced, with no turns. Anyone can do anything at any time. Explore the map, move your adventurer, or team up to battle Skeletons, Orcs, Giants, Dragons, and even the mighty Behemoth . Play is in 5 minute timeboxed rounds. In each round you attempt to do better as a team than before. To defeat a monster, you’ll need to use a variety of skills including wordplay, math, and simple drawing. The game illustrates most of the values and principles of the Agile Manifesto and the mechanics of Scrum and Kanban. A Mural template of the game will be provided for use with your teams. Connecting with a tablet or PC required for participation.
