This exercise provides some experience using a dice based simulation of [[Scrum Framework\|Scrum]] with some agile metrics to record progress at both the Sprint and release level, and discover the strategies that you and your team can use to cope with responding to change.

	==Prerequisites==		==Prerequisites==
	A prerequisite for this exercise is that the ~~estimation and planning exercise,~~ [[My Sweet 16 Birthday Party]] ~~has been completed, as this will then provide a Product Backlog and a release plan that can be used in the Metrics Game~~.		A prerequisite for this exercise is that a [[Product Backlog]] exists with items that have been estimated such as the end point of the [[My Sweet 16 Birthday Party]] exercise.
