Graduate Development Community:Agile / XP Development Game
Agile / XP Development Game
Agile software development refers to a group of software development methodologies based on iterative development, where requirements and solutions evolve through collaboration between self-organizing cross-functional teams. This exercise aims to introduce a few of these principles through gameplay that are used in practice.
The Agile / XP Development Game session started with a brief presentation on XP (Values and Pratice), what it is, what the principles are and what the XP process looks like. The attendees were then split into three groups and they were told how they will be applying agile and XP principles by building Lego.
Each group is given the customer's stories. The groups are then given three minutes to estimate what they think they can complete in four minutes of Lego building time. The groups did this for three iterations. After the three iterations customers (ThoughtWorkers) evaluated the end results and score them according to what tasks they have completed versus the end product.
The benefits of Agile and XP planning and using their principles are quite evident when you see the end result of each groups completed job. This session closed off with a brief conclusion and taking comments from the groups about the experience and what they could have done.
