Innovation Games(r) for Agile Teams
Many of the practices and processes followed by agile teams are enhanced and improved through the integration of Innovation Games®. This one-day intensive Innovation Games for Agile Teams course will enable agile practitioners to put Innovation Games to use to identify customer requirements, improve retrospectives, prioritize backlogs, create better release plans and much more. Find complete details and upcoming courses here.
What you'll learn:
Innovation Games® are serious games that can be used to deliver cost-effective market research for Agile teams and super-charge the product planning process. Based on the book of the same name by Luke Hohmann, Innovation Games® power innovation by enabling you to better understand your customers.
This course will help you gain a better understanding of how to apply these games within the context of an Agile development process. While there is a lot to love about Agile development, many practices can get pretty tiresome. Retrospectives stop working when teams become bored with answering the same three questions (“what worked, what didn’t work, what should we change?”). Prioritizing a product backlog in a single meeting before, or during, release planning using a spreadsheet isn’t very engaging. Developing and presenting a product roadmap using PowerPoint gets pretty old, especially when you can’t find a way to show the growth in functionality of your product.
Course Outline:
Beginning with an overview of Innovation Games, you will learn how to:
* Identify customer requirements for an ideal product through Product Box
* Improve retrospectives with Speed Boat
* Prioritize your backlog through the online game Buy a Feature Online
* Plan a successful project through the game Remember the Future
* Develop better release plans with Prune the Product Tree
* Understand product usage with Me and My Shadow and Start Your Day
Agile should be fun! And when you integrate the games described in this class into your Agile practice, it will be.
Who should attend:
* All members of Agile teams with a focus on product planning, product development and product management.
* Anyone who wishes to create more innovative product and service offerings.
Schedule:
Unless otherwise stated, the class runs one day, 8:00 AM to 5:00 PM and will include a breakfast and lunch.
Prerequisites:
Although not strictly required, it is helpful if participants read the book Innovation Games®: Creating Breakthrough Products Through Collaborative Play before the course.
Instructor:
The Innovation Games® Company has certified a select group of talented and knowledgeable industry leaders as Innovation Games® Qualified Instructors. Their decades of real-world experience in wide range of industries ensures our courses give you the practical, hands-on education you need to put Innovation Games to work the moment you’re back in the office. The Qualified Instructor for this workshop, Jeff Brantley, is a seasoned Product Manager, Marketer, Entrepreneur, and Agile Coach. Jeff is a regular presenter at Product Camps where he shares his passion for building great products. He has helped enterprises, small businesses, and non-profit organizations better understand how to leverage these tools to tap into the creativity within their own employees, partners, and customers. Come along for the ride and you will surely enjoy it!

Innovation Games training with Jeff Brantley/John Heintz
Jeff Brantley is an unapologetic "product-guy" and game player. Jeff has been in product leadership, sales, and marketing roles since the early 90s and most recently consults with organizations as an Agile product manager, coach, game facilitator and market researcher. LinkedIn
Jeff is a certified facilitator and qualified instructor of Innovation Games(r), and as you can imagine, he says things like: "I like to have fun, and work does not have to be so much work! You can use games as part of your ongoing product and marketing activities for fun and profit!"
John is an experienced agile manager, particularly in lean and kanban. John has coached large and small teams and once coached a 100 person lean/agile game studio. helping the organization increase its throughput of game features per month while coordinating cross-team cmmunication paths, resulting in a doubling of features in one year.
Innovation Games (in-person or online) can be applied to many different situations including: market research; team buiding; sales training; project planning and prioritization; portfolio planning and roadmapping; and of course brainstorming.
Games work at home. Games work at work. Why not play games to help you do serious work in a more relaxed and fun context, while at the same time getting people REALLY engaged with you?
Don't talk AT them with powerpoint... Engage WITH them using games!
