TRANSCRIPT
Lego4Scrum Game
Playing with the principles of the Agile manifesto
1. Collaboration between a customer and teams
2. Developing a product, not a detailed list of tasks. Avoid micro-management.
3. Inter-team collaboration for success.
4. Continuous improvement.

Organization
Teams of 4 to 6
Timing: 45-60 minutes
Boxes of bricks: lego, kapla,…
Board, markers, flipboard sheets of paper, sticky-notes
Big table: ideally one per team

Roles
Product Owner: this is me. I represent the client.
Team members: all of you.
Scrum master: optional. The game can be played withoutscrum master. This is up to you: self–organize.

PRE-GAME: Project Chartering (5 min)
All teams are building a single product for the same vendor, represented by the Product Owner.
The product is a CITY. Building blocks are lego /
kapla bricks. I am the main decision maker
of the product – it is my city. I will be involved in the
development process by being available to answer questions and providefeedback.

PRE-GAME: Building the Backlog (15 min)
We want to build: Small house: one storey building (several) Big house: two storey building (several) Shop School Church Hospital Kindergarten Bus stop Roads & Intersection (can be drawn) Park (can be drawn) River (can be drawn) Bridge
There might be bonus requests for other buildings during the game.

PRE-GAME: Building the Backlog (10 min)
PRE-GAME: Estimating (15 min) Choose an estimation method, but keep it simple and
keep it fast.
Note: some agile gurus have recommended dropping estimates.
A possible approach is t-shirt sizing: S, M, L, XL
Or you may use story points: 1 2 3 5 8 13
Or planning poker
7
PRE-GAME: Estimating (15 min)
GAME: Sprint Planning (10 min + 3 min)
Build a unique Planning boardfor all teams to make sprint planning more visible:
3 sprint zones for each team
Release Burndown chart
You have 3 minutes to plan sprint #1
Sprint duration: 7 min
8
GAME: Sprinting (7 min / sprint) 7min ticking… www.online-stopwatch.com
Start building
9
GAME: Sprinting (7 min / sprint)
GAME: Reviewing (5 min)
Stop building
Demo: where is the demo of my city?
Update planning wall
Update Release Burndown chart
Retrospective: “how can we make it better the next sprint?”
10
GAME: release cycle
Loop on sprints #2 and #3
11
POST-GAME: Debriefing How did it feel being on a Scrum team?
How did the short iterations go?
How accurate were the estimations?
What would we have done differently from the beginning, if we had another chance to
play the game?
What was the job of the Product Owner?
How did it feel after the first sprint when most items required re-work?
How will your strategy change, if you know the Product Owner is unavailable during
sprints?
How did inter-team communication go? Were there any dependencies? How were they
resolved?
What did you learn?12
POST-GAME: Debriefing
