Meeting Learning:
Gaming theory continues to advance and bring new ways to make learning and expanding one’s skill sets a lot of fun. In this month’s session we’ll showcase a couple of games and different ways of explaining some Agile and Lean concepts in a non-traditional way.

Meeting Description:
Who doesn’t like to play a game every now and then? Often times we look at work and learning new concepts as a drudgery that must be endured as part of the nature of our existence. This is in line with the saying, ‘If work was fun, they wouldn’t pay you for it….’

At AgileKC headquarters we
like answer the aforementioned saying with the verbose Italian reply of
‘Basta!’ (For those not familiar with the term, dictionary.com provides
the definition of ‘Enough!’). We’re not sheep! We can
change our world for the better! We just need a way to get the ball
rolling. Indeed, if your work-a-day world needs some spontaneity and
light-heartedness in it, then this month’s Agile KC meeting is for you!
We are going to play some
games. Not just any games, no we have more respect for your time
than that. We’ll be playing and talking about games that you can use in
your organization to explain and illustrate different Agile | Lean
concepts. So bring a friend and plan on joining in on the fun. If
you’re not careful you might learn something in the process.
Speaker's Bio:
There will be a variety of speakers at this month’s
meeting. One of them might be you! We have a couple
of games already identified for the meeting, but have room for one or two more,
if you have a learning game that you are fond of and would like to
share. The caveats are: the game must have a learning component
associated with an Agile | Lean philosophy or practice, and should be able to
be played in about 20 minutes by a group of people. We know that there
are a lot of great games out there, and we want you to share your favorite!
If you are interested in submitting a game for consideration,
please email Martin Olson at [email protected].
We look forward to seeing you on the 24th!
