How do I play the game with teams?

• One game session is all you need for the core lessons, but the game is challenging enough that most players enjoy the opportunity to play again and try for a better score.

• Each session provides opportunities for further learning. You can use the game as part of a larger training course or as a stand-alone team exercise.

Use the Agile Fluency Game to start and sustain a rich conversation about which Agile practices to adopt next and how to achieve proficiency!
