Topic: Play getKanban!
Speaker: The 2011 Brickell Key Award winner Russell Healy. No, seriously, this is an interactive simulation game, so there is no speaker.
Abstract:The getKanban Board Game is a physical board game designed to teach the concepts and mechanics of Kanban for software development in a class or workshop setting. It has been described as the most effective way to learn Kanban. It’s hands-on, engaging, and fun.
We will explain the rules at the start of the meeting and you can also learn a bit about the game at http://getkanban.com/. Then we will break up into several teams and play the game using physical boards as well as accounts on the electronic version of the game.
Please RSVP even if you're not sure you're coming. We need to estimate the number of people and the number of boards and electronic game accounts we need. If you have a physical getKanban board or an electronic account or would like to help us facilitate the game, please contact Alexei Zheglov (alex@leanatoz.com), Jim Morrison (jim.morrison@desire2learn.com) or Kurt Berger (kurt.berger@economical.com).
