Hi,

I need ideas to make teaching scrum and kanban remotely. I usually do a version with lego for scrum and a version of the pizza kanban game. I have converted the pizza game to a remote version but its not great. Any ideas?

Thanks
Sam

Suggest the Agile Games list?

BTW I will likely adapt some variant of a nearly 10 yr old game for a virtual CSM in 10 ish days time: https://agilepainrelief.com/notesfromatooluser/2012/11/learning-scrum-through-games-golidocks-iteration-ii.html

Cheers

In my online classes, 59 minutes scrum works every time.

For Kanban, you can try the coin flipping game or the Factory Game (brewery).
The “take the win win wave”game makes an great introduction to Kanban too.

It all depends on what the expected achievements are.

Thanks Pierre,

I have questions!  This is a great list, but I need a little more than the names of the games.  So I did some Googling, and here's what I found.  If you have a second, can you answer the questions so we can all use these games with clients while we - and they - are in social isolation.
