L'agilità è oramai sulla bocca di tutti. La sua diffusione non conosce confini, e oggi non è raro vederla applicata in ambiti ben lontani dalla produzione di beni e servizi software. In questa sessione vorrei riportare l'attenzione sul prodotto finale, sulla sua qualità e sulla sua capacità di rispondere ai bisogni degli utenti: questo secondo me il vero Nord a cui la bussola dell'agilista deve sempre puntare. Questa sessione è aperta a tutti, non solo a chi bazzica il mondo del software. Per mezzo di un workshop pratico e divertente, esploreremo insieme valori e principi del manifesto senza citarli, bensì, applicandoli. Al termine della sessione rifletteremo insieme sulle dinamiche emerse, cercando di ragionare sul processo di creazione del prodotto e sui fattori chiave del successo.

▸ A sheet of paper
▸ Your hands
▸ Your mind

9. THE GOAL
▸ There’s a starting line, where you stand
and launch your planes

11. THE SETUP
▸ Teams of 4-5 people
▸ A bunch of iterations
▸ Impediments, tools and opportunities
on the road… 😉
11

12. THE ITERATION
▸ 7 minutes to build as planes as you can
▸ Launch challenge
▸ Points update
▸ Arising of opportunities, hitches and
improvements, you’ll see 😉

13. BASIC RULES
▸ Fixed amount of A4 sheets per team
▸ New iteration, new planes: don’t recycle
them, don’t cheat! 😄
▸ Don’t use anything else other than paper
and tools facilitator provides to you 😉

14. PLANES BUILDING RULES
▸ You have to build planes using A5 sheets
(yes, you have to manually cut A4 sheets by

OPPORTUNITIES

21. Colorful airplanes
Travelers love to be on planes with a colorful
fuselage.
Each colored plane that reaches its destination
earns 2 points.
The fuselage must be perfectly colored on both
sides (no white spaces, no smudges).
Nothing else the fuselage must be colored.
