Lean Agile Simulation

Meeting customer requirements in a comprehensive way

The Lean Agile Simulation is a two-day experiential simulation that makes it possible, through the application of the Kolb cycle (concrete experience, reflective observation, abstract conceptualisation, and active experimentation) to implement the Agile methodology and observe how the context transforms itself and reacts to the different tools implemented.

Agile is a product development methodology in which customer requirements and solutions evolve through repeated cycles of planning, collaboration and delivery. This helps providing the right solution at the right time. The combination of Lean and Agile helps to ensure different methodological approaches depending on the context or situation in which they are to be applied.

Through Lean Agile Simulation it is possible:

To set up an Agile process and organisation
Understand the potential of teamwork
Learn Agile methodologies in an experiential game
Learn and apply Agile tools and principles
Work in a dynamic environment characterised by variability

Participants will impersonate real employees of competitor companies participating in a challenge. Only the final jury, composed of a team of experts, will decide the winning company.

The simulation runs through the typical product development scenario: from requirements gathering, through design to the creation of the product prototype. Participants will come across generic and specific customer requirements and will have to understand how to achieve a product that best meets the customer's requirements within the customer's timeframe.

During the two-day game the participants will experience the transformation of the process, from waterfall to iteration, and will be able to test some famous frameworks of the Agile method, such as:

The identification of waste in product development

The Scrum

The User Stories

The agile team management with different company roles

The definition of done

The Prioritisation of User Stories
