| 349add | 30 | * Present the slides to introduce Agile values, principles and practices |
| f8db4c | 31 | * This includes the 15 minute video by Henrik Kniberg, Product Ownership in a Nutshell. After playing this, a group discussion about what some of the memorable messages were |
| 349add | 32 | * Run the Ball game as described on the slides: |
| f8db4c | 33 | * 4 sprints in total |
| TB | 34 | * Radiate and capture estimates vs actuals |
| 35 | * Look for trends in improved accuracy of estimation and increased overall velocity | |
| 36 | * At the end of Sprint 2, suggest each team does a review of other teams to see if they can learn new techniques from watching others in action | |
| 37 | * At the end of Sprint 3, calculate the team's overall velocity. Challenge them to triple this. Ask what would help bring up the overall velocity (answer is smaller teams). Run a 4th sprint where group can self organise into smaller teams (agree a team is more than one person) | |
| 38 | * Debrief the learnings | |
