Agile Game Based Learning – Can we cure the Daily with a Game?
Raluca Mitan and Rade Zivanovic
Abstract
Does your Daily Scrum suffer from ’storytelling’ or ‘problem solving’ symptoms, as well as Sprint Goal amnesia? Does your Daily Scrum therapy take longer than 15 minutes, but still no relevant information is being shared? We can prescribe a cure with an Agile Game especially designed to improve your Daily Scrum: The Daily Stand-up Game.
Join our interactive therapy session and learn how to cure the Daily Scrum with game cards, while identifying the patterns that destroy the Daily, as well as highlighting the drivers of positive change. You may notice side effects like ‘having Fun’ and ’self-organisation’.

Playing by the rules
Wouter Lagerweij and Suzanne Lagerweij
Abstract
Come play games with us! And learn how BDD (Behaviour Driven Development) will help you create the kind of clear and well understood user stories that development teams need to move fast.
In this workshop you’ll experience the difference between classical requirements and Specification By Example, simply by playing games. We will use well known games such as chess, solitaire, poker and yahtzee and discuss what the rules of those games are before we start playing and find out it’s not that easy to be fully understood.
At the end, you’ll have a good understanding of the difference between requirements and examples, and how they compliment each other. And an appreciation for the value of discussing those examples when discovering the whole scope of your stories.
When you go back to work you’ll know how to bring refinement of stories to a new level. You’ll know what questions to ask and what type of answers to listen for.
Dices, Pictionary and Predictability
Marcelo Walter, Danilo Garcia, and Pedro Martins
Abstract
The objective of presenting this game in the XP Conference is to share a learning technique to explain the predictability data-driven methods. We believe and use these practices on our jobs but we still see that not so much people understand the concepts and how the plans and report status should be conducted for Agile Projects.
