The agile community likes to use simulations as e.g. the Scrum Lego City Game for that – trying to explain the mechanic bridging the gap to the real life experiment. The news are -its out now: the first Flight Level Lego City Game simulation designed by Henriette Wienges both as a Miro or Lego Version. I can tell you – by playing some of the agile simulations, you will understand totally counterintuitive facts at the one hand and processes at the other, that seemed to be so complicated in theory.
But moreover – we can use those simulations not only for trainings, but to simulate real life cases – defining e.g. a status quo and using the simulation to manipulate it into different possible directions of strategic decisions to understand the impacts of each option. That way we can make better strategic decisions, find existing coordinationpoints based on empericism not the organziation chart, include the needed persons into the communication or e.g. plan resources and add change strategies as rules to your workflow. Also showing it very visually e.g. how stuck your pipeline might be, so that no new strategic decission will get through – mitght open some eyes.. Let’s play!
