Miroverse Templates Challenge: Agile April topic suggestions 😎

@Helena Brandist Great initiative!

Some suggestions:

• Agile Product Artifacts. Vision, backlog, timeline, etc.
• Agile Collab. Being agile is all about individuals and interactions over processes and tools. Create a template with the sole purpose of fostering agile collaboration!
• The Agile Box. Responding to change is one of the core agile values. As such, you're not agile if you never think outside the box. Create a template that forces your agile team to leave its comfort zone! Could be a completely new take on daily standups, planning, setting up goals, etc.

Make Daily Standups Great Again!

@Helena Brandist -

A pain snake template might be interesting. I didn’t see anything similar in Miroverse...

How’s this as a prototype?

Agile games

How can you create a learning experience for a group of people that helps them better understand one (or more) of the agile principles?
 

Agile strategy 

How can you connect mission and vision to a roadmap and daily execution?
 

Thanks for your suggestions, they’re really great: @Kiron Bondale @Arthur von Kriegenbergh @Henrik Ståhl @Said Saddouk 

And i was wondering- can all these ideas be created in an Agile Games form? I think it’s going to be lots of fun.

Thoughts?

@Helena Brandist Great idea!

@Arthur von Kriegenbergh’s suggestions can be turned into many different games: Kanban Pizza Game, Battleships (where the first team plans their 30 hits upfront, while the second team play reach of their 30 hits with real-time feedback), Planning Monopoly, etc.

@Said Saddouk’s Make Daily Standups Great Again could be a game where you start with 1000 points and get -1 point for every second that passes… 

The Agile Box could be a role-playing game where team members imitate users/customers. I did that during a retro some years ago when I was PO of an inhouse-built headless CMS; I divided the participants into two groups, appointed one chief of staff per group + reporters and editors, and gave them an assignment (to gather information and publish articles about a specific topic). 

Sounds great fun! Let’s create a shared Miro frame together, that all games can use as a starting point. 

Initial idea:

• What the game is
• Real-time or async?
• Time it takes to play
• Goal of the game (or just for fun)
• How many people to play with
• Next steps you can take after the game?

What’s missing or too much?

Also, we have some great games on Miroverse already, for example the Pizza Game. There could also be benefit in just creating an overview of the current games. E.g. when and where does it makes sense to play the game.

(That could also be turned into a blogpost and video, and short posts for LinkedIn)

Not sure if I get what you mean Henrik

Product discovery = Dream big, start small. 

Do you suggest creating a Miro frame together is too big of a step? 

(I was basically answering the question "What’s missing or too much?” )

@Arthur von Kriegenbergh Aaah, like an instructions template? Now I get what you mean! That's a good idea.  

If we go ahead with this, the challenge could actually be to create an agile game template for Miroverse, and we provide a “skeleton” (a “back of the box” template) as inspiration. Hehe, I kind of like it when we get lost in translation Arthur because it forces us to alter our course of thinking.

How does all this sound to you, @Helena Brandist? 

@Anna Savina I’ll be able to fix a first draft of a “skeleton" by the end of the week (Sunday), then iterate it together with @Arthur von Kriegenbergh  and you early next week.

Regarding two challenges: It would definitely work, but I'd go with one challenge and explain that using the “skeleton” is optional! What do you say Arthur?

@Anna Savina Oh sorry, of course. I misinterpreted what you wrote. Sounds good!

@Anna Savina Woop woop!
