After the practical exercise in the [[Agile 101 Workshop Syllabus|Agile 101 Workshop]], this workshop focuses on developing teams' ability to apply some of their experiences to another simulation project, which needs a next level understanding of the Agile concepts.


This workshop sees teams selecting a project, developing an estimated and prioritised backlog of work, running a dice based simulation against it and making critical decisions to deliver the most value within the time and cost constraints.
This workshop sees teams building a [[Scrum Artefacts|Product Backlog]] as a [[Story Mapping|Story Map]] and devising a release plan. Finally, the attendees run their release plan through a dice based simulation of [[Scrum Framework|Scrum]] and make release and scoping decisions to try to get the best possible outcome in the simulation.

Revision as of 04:51, 17 June 2022


After the practical exercise in the Agile 101 Workshop, this workshop focuses on developing teams' ability to apply some of their experiences to another simulation project, which needs a next level understanding of the Agile concepts.

This workshop sees teams building a Product Backlog as a Story Map and devising a release plan. Finally, the attendees run their release plan through a dice based simulation of Scrum and make release and scoping decisions to try to get the best possible outcome in the simulation.

Materials

  • Large poster illustrating the Agile framework for the session such as Scrum for example
  • Flip chart paper and markers
  • Post-it notes and markers
  • A4 spare paper
  • Dice, enough for pairs of attendees to be able to throw up to 3 dice
  • Release and Sprint burn down charts
  • Visible timer to indicate the time left for the activities
  • Music playlist and sound system to help play low level music whilst the teams are working
  • Debrief Cards

Setup

The setup for the room with up to 16 participants includes:

  • Large poster of the Agile framework to be used visible on the wall
  • Several workstations arranged in cafe seating available for multiple table groups

Agile 101 Part 2 Workshop Setup

Team Workstations

Each team should have setup:

  • Poster of their team name and sense of identity
  • Flip chart paper for their Backlog or Product Backlog of work
  • Flip chart paper for their Iteration or Sprint Backlog
  • Agile 102 Instructions
  • Table where to work

Timings & Run Sheet

Provide 3 hours for teams to orientate themselves to their project, conduct 4 iterations or Sprints and conclude with a reflection:

  1. Introduction and orientation of the approach - 15 mins
    1. Team self selection
    2. Team name poster and workstation setup
    3. Run through of the Agile framework poster and how the session is going to run
  2. 4 x iterations or Sprints - 150 mins:
    1. Sprint Planning (if using Scrum) - Team decides how long
    2. Sprint or iteration to do the chosen activities - 25 mins - Including Sprint Planning time (if used)
    3. Group Sprint Review as a Feature Fair to enable teams to interact, offer feedback and discuss what they have learned - 5 mins
    4. Sprint Retrospective or other reflection for the teams to improve how they do things - 5 mins
  3. Overall share back and reflection on the workshop with Debrief Cards if needed - 15 mins
