Agile-SCRUM Paper Planes Game
Agile Paper Planes Game helps players understand the agile approach, as well as improve team collaboration. You are trying to improve team collaboration not just Scrum knowledge
All you need for this game is:
Pile of A4 paper sheets, two teams and adhesve tape
Agile Paper Plane Game introduction
First of all, you need to create as many 2-4 people teams as possible. Teams don’t have to be equally sized (life is not fair).
The goal for every team will be to build paper (logo, name and adhesive tape) planes while consuming resources and provide profit for a company.
You should start the game with the introduction of rules.
The plane is counted as finished (accepted/done) and valid (approved ) only when you throw it and it crosses a distance (3-5 meters? )mark before touchdown.
Every team starts with €30 in their pockets.
The maximum profit from one plane is $€ and a maximum loss per lack of plane is -$€.
Your balance is changing:
+€3 per committed and finished plane
+€2 per valid plane
abovecommitment limit(crosses distance mark).-€3 per committed and unfinished plane
-€1 per plane given for a failed test
-€1 per used piece of paper.
Game process
The game will be held in 3 sprints. Each sprint will be combined from:
Planning (5min) – each team will be provided with one A4 piece of paper for checking and figuring out a number of planes that they will commit to, in this sprint. Each team gets the number of papers to what they commit to deliver.
Sprinting (5 min) – actual building.
Review – all participants together gather to check their planes (you are making test flights). Ask users to mark their planes before the review, so you will make blind tests (you will not know whose planes you are throwing). The plane is accepted when it flies for more than 3 meters?.
Retro (5 min) – teams use this time to find out what they should improve in the next sprint.
During the Agile Paper Planes Game, you should update board with every group’s current account.
