Agile Retrospective - Create a Board Game

This is an idea I hard that thought I would throw out here and see your thoughts. Whilst slightly un formed and as yet untried I like the idea and hope to try it out soon :)

** Goal to create a scenario where participants can highlight issues they are facing or aspects of their practice which should be encouraged. By creating a sense of play around issues participants are more likely to get involved and contribute to the discussion.

What to do

  1. Team is broken up into groups of 4-6
  2. Each team is given a blank board game
  3. Each player is invited to create an avatar for the board
  4. Each player is asked to create three “Positive scenarios” - each scenario is prioritised.
  5. Each player is asked to create three “Negative scenarios” - each scenario is prioritised.
  6. The team then prioritises the scenarios based on impact to the team.
  7. The scenarios are then placed around the board alternating between Positive and Negative.
  8. Each player is given 2 cards to move around the board.
  9. Let the game begin
