Product Development Simulation Game

In this highly engaging session [suitable for the beginner to the advanced practitioner] you’ll experience estimating, planning and delivering a new product and product features. Your team resolves uncertainty in value and costs through rolling dice based on the stories that your team selects and prioritizes. You’ll run through 3 iterations of story cost, value estimation, and product feature delivery. Your team scores points for delivering product features and meeting release and iteration commitments.

The simulation aims to have levels of uncertainty in value and delivery similar to those found in software development. You’ll come away with a better understanding of the challenges of working with uncertainty in software projects, and learn that some popular approaches for managing software projects may have counterproductive results.
