Ping pong balls.

@@nickhershberger8411 rather looking for an alternative of the alike. Getting like 100 ping pong balls in nowadays poorly equipped shopping streets is neither easy, nor cheap - and lastly not sustainable at all Went with walnuts the last time - though it was the season

Gracias. This game could fairly easily be done on Mural and Zoom with breakout rooms. The other games, less so, the coin game can be swapped with a an online whiteboard game that draws a stickman instead of coin-flipping. The chair-game is about micro-management really, and with WFH there's a lot less of this anyway, just have good sprint planning and 3 amigos, and judge the demos... don't micro-manage the work in-between.

try stopping them!

Done :)

@@theagilecoach2435 great.. just saw it now, will watch when I get sometime... that was super cool! That deserves my subscription ❤️

Now you're giving me ideas! 👍

Sure Kishore.

Kishore did you share your edited version? I would be interested in seeing what you have. Thanks in advance.

@@andyhyson8212 Here it is: th-cam.com/video/9gE2DPcTNbc/w-d-xo.html I had published it several months ago, I apologize for not notifying you.

@@kishoremasand I forgot to check back, so apologizing for not saying Thank You earlier! ;) Using it in my class tmr!

Yes, well spotted 93-96 Commerce Department 😂 Remote Flow? Interesting!!! Only remote game I've played is skribbl.io Worked well, we had a Google hangout and played this as an ice-breaker. For flow? Maybe there's an online multiuser drawing tool and you could have a production flow of stickman heads, body, legs, face details. And run the 'coin game' via that. Easy to demo flow that way.

For sure, just google agile ball flow game... worth reading a couple articles too on outcomes.

Yes, belief systems really result in amazing outputs. Look at all the amazing cathedrals, mosques, and temples... Far eclipsing any council house, school, or cafe. I'm not gonna argue if there's a sound foundation in this point just that belief in and of itself is a motivator unparalleled.

And when you say "Each ball must have air-time", is it legal to pass it through the air once and then hand by hand every time until it gets returned?

@@PatoMPlay Hehe, rules are there to be bent and broken right? or deal with those people with severe punishments... all depends on company culture doesn't it? Maybe you can map that to it as an exercise?

Well I told them to really shake it up, and instead of small, incremental improvements (Kaizen) I told them they could triple their total by rethinking it entirely (Kaikaku) and then proceeded to step in and get involved and didn't really fully take control and implement what I'd seen but not done myself (the 'ball waterfall' and I wasn't clear on the entry/exit of the system) didn't leave them to it, and so they messed up. I messed up. It happens, will test out the 'circle' idea prior to the next time I run it.

The Agile Coach Ohhhh I see. I was like... why are there two people entering the ball and running around? makes no sense, but well. Thank you very much for your response, I hope we can perform it smoothly. If we record it and you want to see it, I’ll let you know. Have a good day !

HaHa, yeah I wasn't on top form and was distracted by filming a bit, would love to see a video of that!

@@theagilecoach2435 Sadly we did not film it. x3 We had a circle and every other person sat on the ground so we wouldn't cross each other while passing on the balls. :)

Glad you like it, any other requests!? I will do a video on why I chose the 'optimal' 2013 text and not the 2018 version and why I feel it's sliding a bit. #lessismore

@@theagilecoach2435 Scrum Glossary would be good for people like me who take things in better from hearing it than reading it. If you've done any of the scrum.org certificates then I'd be keen to see a video about your experience of them and your recommended preparation for each of the ones you've done. Personally hoping to do PSM I in the next month followed by PSD I in the coming quarter. 10 years waterfall software development experience, only done one 3 month project under scrum. Definitely the way forward.

If you like audio guides this guy is doing a great playlist of them th-cam.com/play/PLSOhDVKY1i0iilru_m-9-wMk7O15yd3en.html

It's like you're reading my mind!

He he, yes agile teams defo need to be prepared to pivot/spin/be agile right, and that then affects tool-choice and everything like that. I think that's David who said it, he's pretty clued up chap, and I think he was playing devil's advocate. There is some truth in what he says though, and having stories/spec/requirements change too much can break a team's morale. Hopefully a sensible PO and Scrummaster can give some level of stability. Even if the product is based on fickle Hollywood celebs or something there should be some continuity that can be abstracted. Easier said than done, I've observed and even been in Scrum teams that have let the Sprint Backlog get changed and added to as we thought we were doing a favour. Sometimes with hindsight we'd have pushed the discipline and forced the pain on them until the next Sprint Planning when they'd have hopefully learnt their lesson and refined the backlog well and brought their A-game to sprint planning. What's your experience Carl?

While change is inevitable and often desirable, changes at the iteration boundary are less wasteful. A little disciple and good will by all parties can keep value flowing

Ann Wong Hi Ann, no I think as mentioned the users just loves 'coin' so gets utility from the very first coin and each coin after. But you raise a good point and you could replay this with an MVP of several coins all stacked followed by a number of increments and see who comes out top. Also this system allows faster user feedback of deliverables, I've played it where halfway through the market shifts and copper coins aren't wanted anymore, try that and play again! Etc. Etc.

Thanks Hugo, I am going to make some more live coaching game videos in the near future... meanwhile I'm just going through some Product Owner perspective videos, team/organisational change, and then a video questioning the evidence of agile/waterfall/other methodologies.
