Abstract:Do you see colleagues getting tunnel vision and fixating on resolving problems or releasing features?
Do you understand the value add to the user (or business) for every item in every release?
Do you have a great quality product but unhappy users?
"If the answer is "yes", then don't wait another minute. Pick up the phone and call..."
You're not aloneSometimes we need a stimulus or trigger to break us out of the day-to-day and get us looking at a feature or task in a new light. This workshop will share some tools for doing exactly that. These tools are not complex or technical, but fun exercises and games to demonstrate how we can take inspiration from popular culture to breath new life into our work and our teams. For Agile 2019 the inspiration will be:
- Ghost Busters
- Dungeons & Dragons
- David Bowie
Learning Outcomes:- Techniques for forcing yourself to look at a scenario through a different lens (David Bowie)
- Understanding that 'tunnel vision' is a human condition and not a failing (Ghost Busters)
- Bringing feature requirements to life by having fun with them (Dungeons & Dragons)
- Takeaway instructions for attendees to run these games with their own teams
