let’s play*!
story cardsStandard stories
earn subscribers
Don’t change the
order of the stack
“Fixed date” stories
have special prize
or penalty
“Intangible” stories
will earn a secret
benefit later in the
game
Hand over your
“expedited” story;
you’ll get it back
after Day 18
diceRed dice, or the color
you have two of:
Designers
Blue dice, or a color
you have three of:
Developers
Orange dice, or a color
you have three of:
Testers
… but wait!
Hand over one of your
tester dice. You haven’t
hired them yet.
Dice represent people, and dice rolls represent the effort they perform.
They score double if they are working in their own area of specialization.
If they are helping out in another area, they score face value only.
principles
prioritization
competing priorities
How do you decide relative value?Stories are measured very differently, and some are immeasurable!
What choices are informed by priority?Whether to add a yellow, purple, or green card in the Ready column
Which stories to move to the top of their column during the “daily standup”
Of course, every story you move up, pushes other stories down
Where to allocate resources (dice) each day
queues
queue patrol
Where do you see queues on your board?
How do you address queues?How hard is it to get rid of a queue once it’s formed?
How expensive is it?
Have you spotted the one worthless queue?
cycle time
your dice don’t earn subscribers
What’s your average cycle time now?How much did that start to suck when you got those low-subscribers stories?
What’s your best cycle time?How did you get it?
Why isn’t every story as fast as your fastest story?
beyond the classroom
what’s the objective?
