Prioritization Games

[LAURIEWOOD]

Have you played any good games to help teams (and product owners etc) prioritize better?.... For when they say that their project is different and everything is a MUST!

Buy a feature from innovation games, business value poker described by Agile42. Kano is another good non game mechanism.

Sorry no links I'm writing from my phone.

As you can imagine this is a core to my product owner course.

Cheers

I love Buy a Feature for that.  Tying (opportunity) cost to feature gain helps get the idea that some things are more "must" than others. Playing with limited funds drives consensus among different stakeholders (which is the usual reason why "everything" is a must)

+1, I use this frequently.  BaF requires estimation of relative size and a constraint on capacity to force thinning. Priority of items selected is imho a bit speculative, and can revisited after getting to a reasonable scope.  

One of the best things about BaF is that the participants own the outcome as a group, and gain confidence in their ability to make collaborative decisions as a team quite quickly.  To combat concerns of possibly suboptimal decisions, you can plan to play again in an appropriate time frame.  Inspect and adapt, a very agile way to play a game.

If you haven't read it, take a look at Luke Hohmann's ebook on prioritizing project portfolios using innovation games.  Also available en francais (I translated it).
